Laminate

Clean laminate countertops using a damp cloth or sponge with a mild non-abrasive detergent.  Then rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Polish and protect your laminate countertops using a soft cloth and Magic® countertop Magic®.  Spray product onto the soft cloth and wipe a small area of the countertop surface.  Buff dry with a fresh cloth.

Cultured Marble

Gloss Finish - Clean with a mild detergent, glass cleaner or foam cleanser.  Car wax may be used as a coating to ease cleaning.  For stubborn stains use nail polish remover on a cotton ball to remove the stain then thoroughly rinse with soap and water.  Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads.

Satin Finish - Same as gloss finish for routine dirt.  For stubborn spots, mild abrasive cleaners may be used.  Use 600 grit wet sandpaper for very stubborn stains.

Solid Surface

Solid surface countertops are non-porous so they can be easily cleaned using a damp soft cloth.  For more heavily soiled or stained areas try a mild dish soap and water then towel dry the surface.

For removing minor knife cuts and superficial scratches, first carefully sand lightly with 180 grit sandpaper.  Wipe clean, then rub lightly with 220 grit sandpaper.  Wipe clean.  Follow up with Bon Ami® cleaner and a white nylon pad rubbing in a circular motion to restore the finish.  Then, apply Protect All's® "Shine Plus."  Deep gouges, cuts and chips may require the assistance of your fabricator or dealer.

Granite
Granite countertops are porous and require regular maintenance.  You will need to periodically seal them to keep them protected.  Granite needs to be resealed when water no longer beads up on the surface.  Use a penetrating sealer and apply with a soft cloth.  Rub cloth onto a 3ft x 3ft area then immediately buff away using a clean soft cloth.

Quartz
Quartz countertops are easy to clean and maintain.  Use soap and water, glass cleaning products like Windex, or other cleaning products containing vinegar to clean your surface.  For a deep cleaning we recommend that from time to time you use an abrasive cleaner/buffer such as Scotch Brite® by 3M.
