• Use paper towels or a clean, cotton cloth for wiping down surfaces. Dish rags or sponges can carry over the dirt/oils
contained to the surface. Do not use abrasive scrubbing pads, brushes or steel wool as this can damage the finish.
• Avoid cleaners with plant oils, as they may leave a film build-up on the surface.
• No sealer of any kind should ever be used, as they leave a topical film on the surface that makes cleaning harder
over time. Caesarstone surfaces are nonporous, and do not require this step as many other natural stone surfaces do.
• Avoid wipes and cleaners specific to granite and natural stone such as marble. These cleaners are designed with
oils specific for the porous nature of those stones. Use of these cleaners will create a chemical patina on the
surface making cleaning harder over time.
If you have a cleaning issue that is not listed above, please contact our Customer Care department for detailed instructions
on how to best resolve your concern.

Cleaning Honed, Rough and Concrete Finishes
Honed, Rough and Concrete finishes have more exposed surface area, which means fingerprints, metal marks and other signs of
daily living will be more apparent but still relatively easy to maintain. They can require more daily maintenance than other product
finishes. For tougher spills and stains, apply a multi-purpose cream cleaner on a cloth or a damp paper towel gently rubbing in a
circular motion. Thoroughly rinse with water to remove cleaner and dry the surface with a clean cloth or paper towel.
What is Patina?
Patina is a thin layer that variously forms on the surface of stone over 6 months of use. Patina can present in 2 forms, natural patina
and chemical patina. Natural patina forms in just that manner, naturally over a period of time. Chemical patina forms much quicker
because of using the wrong type of cleaners on the surface. Caesarstone surfaces are designed to acquire a natural patina which adds
to the character of the surface yet remains easy to clean and maintain. It is not a blemish or stain and can be easily removed with the
recommended cleaners.
What to Avoid
Prolonged exposure to cleaning solutions may cause permanent damage/discoloration to the countertop surface. Avoid exposing
the surface to chemicals, such as oven grill cleaners, floor strippers, paint removers/strippers, toilet bowl cleaners, oil soaps,
tarnish removers, furniture cleaners, drain products, battery acid, dishwasher detergent, etc. Should your surface accidentally
be exposed to any potentially damaging products, rinse immediately with water and wipe dry.
