Cabinet countertop maintenance:
1. Hot pots and kettles should be avoided from coming into direct contact with the cabinet, so that they can be placed on the pot rack.
2. During operation, it is advisable to avoid using sharp objects to touch the countertop or door panel, in order to avoid scratches. No matter which countertop you choose, you should cut vegetables and prepare food on the cutting board. In addition to avoiding knife marks, it can also achieve better cleaning and hygiene.
3. A countertop made of general materials may have bubbles and gaps, and if colored liquids penetrate it, it may cause stains or discoloration. Therefore, it is important to avoid placing dyes or hair dyes directly on the countertop.
4. Chemical erosion is not allowed for many materials. For example, stainless steel countertops may rust when exposed to salt, so it is important to avoid placing soy sauce bottles and other items directly on the countertop.
5. Artificial board cabinets should avoid standing water on the countertop for a long time.
Cleaning and maintenance of cabinet countertops:
There are multiple materials to choose from for cabinet countertops, including natural stone, artificial stone, fire-resistant decorative panels, and stainless steel, each with their own advantages. In terms of daily cleaning and maintenance, there are also differences.
Natural stone countertop
Maintenance: When there are stains on the countertop, they should be wiped clean in a timely manner to prevent stains from seeping into the interior through natural fine lines. To prevent cracking of the countertop, heavy objects should be avoided from hitting the countertop and direct contact with overheated objects during use.
Cleaning: It is advisable to use a soft cleaning cloth and not use toluene cleaning agents to wipe, otherwise it is difficult to remove the white spots. When removing scale, do not use acidic toilet cleaning powder, dilute hydrochloric acid, etc., otherwise it will damage the glaze and cause it to lose its luster.
artificial stone table-board
Maintenance: Artificial stone countertops should be protected from bleach and scale in water, which can lighten the color of the countertop and affect its appearance. In practical use, avoid direct contact with high-temperature objects.
Cleaning: Due to the absence of fine lines, it has strong resistance to paint, stains, etc., and is also relatively easy to clean. But the texture is too soft, so do not use abrasive cleaning agents.
Refractory decorative panel countertop
Maintenance: After use, the accumulated water and water stains should be wiped dry as soon as possible to avoid long-term immersion and prevent the tabletop from being deformed due to adhesive opening. When using, avoid sharp tools directly hitting the countertop. When using cutting tools, place a cutting board on the countertop. After frying, the hot pot cannot be immediately placed on the table.
Cleaning: Use a soft cleaning cloth as much as possible, and do not use cleaning tools with higher hardness to avoid damaging the surface. Do not place dyes or hair dyes directly on the countertop, stubborn stains can be cleaned with neutral cleaning agents.
Stainless steel countertop
Maintenance: Chemical action can have a corrosive effect on many materials of countertops. For example, stainless steel countertops may rust when exposed to salt. Therefore, it is important to avoid placing soy sauce bottles and other items directly on the countertop.
Cleaning: Do not use acidic and abrasive cleaning agents, and also avoid using hard cleaning tools such as steel wire balls. Hard cleaning tools can easily cause surface fuzzing, scratches, and other phenomena.
