Solid Surface Use & Care Guide

This guide explains how to clean, maintain, and care for Solid Surface materials used in bathroom vanity tops. Whether you’ve chosen Corian®, Staron®, or Meganite®, proper care ensures long-lasting performance, hygiene, and a flawless appearance for years to come.

Instructions for your bathroom vanity

Solid Surface is designed for easy everyday care. For routine cleaning, simply wipe the surface with a damp microfiber cloth and a mild household cleaner or soap. This removes everyday residues such as soap, toothpaste, cosmetics, and water marks.

What you can use:

  • Mild liquid soap

  • Non-abrasive household cleaners

  • Soft cloths or sponges

What to avoid:

  • Window cleaners containing ammonia

  • Wax-based or silicone cleaners, which can leave a dull film

Drying the surface after cleaning helps prevent water spots and keeps the finish looking fresh.

Thanks to its non-porous structure, Solid Surface does not absorb liquids — most stains stay on the surface and can be removed easily.

For common stains such as coffee, cosmetics, or limescale, use a mild abrasive cleaner or a paste made from baking soda and water. Apply gently with a soft sponge using circular motions, then rinse thoroughly.

What if it stains?
Even stubborn marks can usually be removed without damaging the material. Solid Surface is renewable, meaning its appearance can be restored through gentle cleaning or refinishing.

While Solid Surface is durable, certain actions should be avoided to preserve its appearance over time:

  • Harsh chemicals: Paint strippers, drain cleaners, and aggressive solvents can damage the surface if left in contact.

  • Abrasive tools: Steel wool or aggressive scouring pads may dull the finish.

  • Excessive heat: Do not place hot pots, hair straighteners, or heated appliances directly on the surface. Always use heat protection.

Quickly rinsing accidental chemical spills with soapy water helps prevent damage.

With proper care, Solid Surface retains its appearance for decades. Over time, light wear can be refreshed by gentle polishing using fine abrasive pads, restoring a uniform finish.

In areas with hard water, occasional descaling helps prevent mineral build-up. Regular, simple maintenance is all that’s needed to keep the surface looking like new — no sealing or special treatments required.

Minor scratches or surface wear can often be repaired at home using mild abrasive pads and water. This makes Solid Surface one of the few materials that can be renewed instead of replaced.

For deeper damage or large surfaces, professional refinishing is recommended. Specialists can restore the original appearance without replacing the entire surface.
