Section 1: Maintenance and Cleaning
1.1 Routine Cleaning:
- Use a soft cloth or sponge with warm water and a mild detergent to clean the surface.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue.
- Dry the surface with a soft cloth or paper towel to prevent water spots.
1.2 Deep Cleaning:
- For stubborn stains or dried spills, use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for stone surfaces.
- Apply the cleaner to the stained area and let it sit for a few minutes.
- Gently scrub the area with a non-abrasive sponge or cloth, then rinse with clean water and dry.
1.3 Stain Removal:
- Sinterstone™ is highly resistant to stains, but some substances may still cause discoloration if not cleaned promptly.
- For ink, wine, coffee, or other staining substances, use a stone-specific stain remover according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Rinse and dry the area after treatment.
Section 2: Activities and Chemicals to Avoid
2.1 Activities to Avoid:
- Do not use abrasive cleaning tools (e.g., steel wool or scouring pads) as they might scratch the surface.

- Avoid dragging heavy or sharp objects across the surface.
2.2 Chemicals to Avoid:
- Do not use harsh chemicals, such as bleach, ammonia, hydrofluoric acid products, etc.
- Avoid using cleaners containing wax, oil, or polish, as they may leave a residue on the surface.
