Natural stone level management guide
Natural stone worktops are easily kept clean by wiping them with a damp or wet cloth. The polished surface is dense and does not absorb dirt deep into the pores, making it easy to remove dirt that has accumulated on the surface.
Cleaning
If necessary, detergent can be used as a cleaning agent in dilute solution. Granite is highly resistant to neutral (pH 6-8), slightly alkaline (pH 8-10) and slightly acidic (pH 4-6) detergents. However, strongly acidic (pH below 2), alkaline (pH above 11), harsh and abrasive detergents should not be used for cleaning.
Note!
If the effect of a detergent solution is uncertain, it is advisable to test it on the product at a point where any harmful effect will not be visible or otherwise harmful.
Protective treatment of matt surfaces
For natural stone slabs with a matt surface, we apply a protective treatment in our factory. The intervals between protective treatments are several years, depending on the degree of use of the tiles. The level can be drop tested by sprinkling water on its surface. If the water drips on the surface of the level, the protective treatment is OK. In future, it will be easy to replace the protective treatment yourself. You can order the necessary material from the Loimaan Kivi sales service or pick it up at the Loimaan Kivi store.
Note!
It is important to clean the level well before applying a new protective treatment

Because quartz countertops are non-porous, stains will not soak into the material. There is therefore no need to impregnate or wax the worktop. The smooth surface is easy to wipe clean. Hot pots should not be placed directly on the worktop. Always use a pan support. Cutting on a Caesarstone surface will dull your knives. Always use a cutting board. Do not sit or stand on the work surface.
Daily cleaning
For daily cleaning, a damp cloth and a neutral detergent such as an all-purpose cleaner or dishwashing liquid is sufficient. Stubborn stains can be removed with warm water and CIF Cream cleaner. Add CIF Cream to the warm water. Wipe the worktop clean with a clean, damp cloth and rinse with plenty of warm water.
Stubborn stains
Chipped stains can be removed with undiluted CIF Cream, applied with a soft sponge. Rub off the stain and rinse with warm water. Plastic paste can be used to remove dried food stains.
Chemical resistance
Contact of Caesarstone quartz composite with chemicals should be avoided. Strong chemicals, such as drain cleaners and oven cleaners, can irreversibly damage the surface.
