This type of material is non-porous and resists moisture, oils and stains. In the event that you do encounter a stain, simply use water and a mild detergent to wipe it away. If you want a more intensive clean, we recommend using a special quartz-based creme cleaner as it will be more effective on more stubborn stains such as coffee or wine.
With a variety of colour options from classic whites to earth tones and brilliant blacks, this is the perfect benchtop material for passionate home cooks. It can withstand the bumps and bruises of everyday kitchen wear and tear and will maintain its beauty and strength far longer than other materials.

This is why it is recommended that you purchase a heat mat or stand to place on your benchtop when cooking.
