Routine Care and
Maintenance
Simply clean up any spills with soap and water. For

that are non-bleach and nonabrasive along with warm water and damp
cloth on regular basis to keep
the lustrous gloss and radiant sheen.
Although HanStone is resistant to stain, any type of
spills should be cleaned as soon as possible.
Any liquid spills, fruits, vegetables, or other foods should be
wiped up and cleaned with soap and water.
Preventing Damages - Heat
HanStone is designed to be extremely resistant to heat and can
withstand exposure to normal
cooking environment for brief periods of time without being damaged.
Although HanStone is more
resistant to heat compared to most of the surfacing materials in the
market, all surfacing materials,
including stone, can be damaged by extreme temperature changes,
whether prolonged or sudden.
Trivets and hot pads should be used when placing hot skillets, pans,
or other heat generating
appliances on the surface.
Scratches
HanStone's durable surface is designed to withstand the normal use.
While it is resistant to scratches, cuts, and chipping, cutting
directly on HanStone surface should
be avoided. Using cutting boards and taking care not to drop or move
heavy objects on the surface
will help to ensure the long-lasting beauty of HanStone Quartz
Surface.
Chemical
There are some chemicals which can cause damage to HanStone surface.
Avoid exposing
HanStone quartz surfaces to any strong chemicals and solvents. It is
important to note some of these
chemicals and solvents can be found in household items like paint
removers, paint and stain strippers
that contain trichlorethane or methylene chloride, nail polish
removers, bleach, furniture cleaners,
oil soaps, permanent markers or inks, and chemicals with high
alkaline/PH levels
(Oven Cleaners, Drain Openers, etc.)
If any of the substance listed come into contact
with your HanStone Quartz Surface, rinse with
plenty of water and follow routine cleaning procedures immediately.
Removing Difficult Spills
For stubborn or dried spills, if routine cleaning procedures do not work,
use nonabrasive
cleaning pad along with common household cleaners like Formula 409®
Glass and Surface Cleaner*.
If gum, nail polish, paint, or other substances are accidentally
allowed to adhere to the surface,
they can be removed with the use of plastic scraper or putty knife
to gently scrap off the substance
and by following routine cleaning procedures.

technologies, making it among
one of nature's hardest surfaces. As a result, HanStone will keep
its beauty for years
without sealing or polishing. It's also non-porous, so it won't
absorb stains or harbor
harmful bacteria. However, as general precaution, maintain your
HanStone surface by using trivets
and cutting boards to avoid damages caused by extreme heat and
scratches.
