How to clean the infiltration stains on the engineered stone countertop?
It can be removed with dish soap and scouring pad: Pour some dish soap on the manufactured stone countertops, moisten the scouring pad with some water and wipe the countertop to remove the stains. This method is suitable for penetrating stains that are not particularly serious and can only clean the surface.

How to maintain engineered stone countertops?
1. Avoid high temperature
Engineered stone is not very resistant to high temperatures. You cannot place a pot that has just been stir-fried or a basin filled with hot soup directly on it. This can easily cause the countertop to break. Therefore, we can put a few heat-insulating mats or rags on the countertop. With the barrier, you can avoid the effects of high temperatures
2. Avoid scratches
Compared with natural stone, the hardness of engineered stone countertops is lower. If it encounters sharp objects, scratches will appear, affecting the appearance and use. Therefore, you cannot cut vegetables or fruits directly on it. You must put a cutting board on it to avoid scratches by the knife.
3. Avoid moisture
Although the artificial stone itself has a certain waterproof ability, it is not suitable for being soaked in water for a long time, otherwise it will penetrate into the interior and cause deformation and other problems. Therefore, try to keep it dry when using it, and wipe it clean in time after cleaning.
