Caesarstone 5820 Darcrest Worktops

No, Caesarstone surfaces are completely non-porous and do not require sealing�ever. Unlike natural materials like granite, marble, and concrete, our quartz and porcelain surfaces are stain-resistant, hygienic, and easy to maintain without regular sealing.

?Caesarstone surfaces are highly durable and heat-resistant, but they are not indestructible. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures may cause damage. To protect your worktop, always use trivets or heat pads when placing hot cookware directly on the surface.

No, quartz and porcelain worktops are designed for long-lasting beauty. We use high-quality materials to ensure resistance to discolouration, even with daily use.For outdoor spaces, some quartz and all our porcelain surfaces are UV-resistant, meaning they won�t fade even under direct sunlight.

• Just use water and a mild detergent, a spray-and-wipe  type cleaner on a soft cloth  or non-abrasive scourer. Then rinse with water and dry with  a soft cloth or paper towel.
• Wipe up wet spills to prevent limescale forming.
• Check each cleaning product  first on an inconspicuous area  to ensure that it doesn’t  damage the surface.

• Depending on the nature of the stain, gently rub the area with  an appropriate cleaner and a soft cloth or paper towel.
• Clean a larger area than the stain itself using circular motions.
• Rinse with water and dry with  a soft cloth or paper towel.
• Repeat the process if you still  see the stain.

• Carefully scrape away dried material such as food, gum or nail polish with a plastic putty knife and then clean the surface with a damp cloth

• Metal objects such as knives, metal pots, keys and belt buckles can sometimes leave metal residue on the surface. This is as easy to remove as described in ‘Stubborn Stains’, or by rubbing gently with a latex eraser.

• Pour white vinegar on the limescale and leave it to soak for 30 minutes. Rub gently with a non-scratch scourer using wide strokes, then rinse with plenty of water. If necessary, repeat until the limescale is removed

• Place a small amount of Bar Keepers Friend® Cleanser (powder) on a damp cloth.  Do not use an abrasive scourer. Wipe very gently in a circular motion. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry with a soft cloth or paper towel.
• Follow these instructions carefully to avoid damaging  the surfac

Surface Finishes:

• Caesarstone finishes other than Polished may need a little more daily maintenance due to their unique patterns and finishes.

Scratch Resistance:

• Caesarstone surfaces are scratch resistant. However, avoid using sharp objects such as knives or screwdrivers directly on the surface – always use a cutting board.

Heat Resistance:

• Sudden and extreme heat, as well as prolonged or direct heat, can damage all stone surfaces, including Caesarstone, especially close to edges. Therefore, always place hot cookware or cooking units such as electric frying pans, crock pots or toaster ovens on trivets, and not directly on the Caesarstone surface.

Dark Surfaces:

• Dark surfaces, objects and furniture are characteristically more prone to showing fingerprints and other signs of daily living than light surfaces. As such, dark Caesarstone models may need a little more daily maintenance.•  Dark Caesarstone models, as all dark surfaces, tend to be more sensitive to scratch marks. It is therefore important to protect the surface from sharp objects  by using a cutting board.•  Limescale may be more visible on dark models than light models so liquid should not be left to dry out on the surface.•  Use of cream-textured cleaning products is not recommended on dark surface

Additional:

• Do not let your Caesarstone surface come into contact with strong acids or alkalis, oxidisers or similar materials, regardless of pH.
• Do not use harsh cleaning products such as: oven/grill cleaners, dishwasher polishing agents, lye, caustic soda, acetone, paint strippers or any products containing trichloroethane or methylene chloride.
• Do not use plant-based cleaning agents as they may cause a chemical build up.Statuario Maximus5031
• If the surface comes into contact with any products that might damage it, rinse immediately with plenty  of water.
• Use of cream-textured cleaning products is recommended mainly for stubborn stains  and not for routine cleaning.
• After cleaning, thoroughly  rinse off any cleaning materials with water.
• Do not allow dirt or liquids  to remain on the surface for  a long time.
• If you intend to use a new cleaning product, check first  on an inconspicuous area that it doesn’t damage the surface.
• Do not use abrasive scourers as they can damage the finish/sheen of your Caesarstone surface
