bacteria to grow when it is not properly cleaned or holes for water to leak. It has become
the first choice for kitchen tops, bar and counter tops, fireplace surrounds, restaurants,
cladding and tiles. It is now used extensively in America, Africa, Europe and Australasia.
Keeping a Technistone surface looking marvellous for years is very simple, all it needs is to
quickly clean off the spills when it happens and to also regularly clean it with warm water
and a normal household detergent. At all times a quick rinsing with water and a wiping with
a dry cloth will be all that is required to bring back the surface to its original shine.
Since it is extremely stain resistant, bleach is generally not needed when cleaning the
surface. However, if it has to be used, then it should be properly rinsed after to avoid dulling
the surface. It does not require polishing as the already polished surface will remain so for
many years for as long as basic cleaning routine is followed.

accidentally damaged by heat from baking trays and hot pots, by using a heat mat or trivet

and beautiful surface is damaged by carelessness.
