Cliq Studios Training Book

Q. Can I use my solid surface countertop as a cutting board? A. No, the use of a separate cutting board is recommended.

Q. How can I prevent heat damage to my solid surface countertop? A. By not placing hot pans or pots directly on your solid surface countertop. The use of hot pads and/or trivets is recommended. Prolonged or extreme heat can cause discoloring.

Q. Do solid surface countertops have seams? A. If seams are necessary, placement will be at the fabricator’s discretion. Solid surface seams will be inconspicuous (not invisible).

Q. Do dark colors show wear and tear? A. Dark colors of any solid surface require more maintenance and cleaning. Under everyday use, darker colors will show dust, rubs, fingerprints, scratches and watermarks, easier than lighter color patterns.

Q. How do I clean my solid surface sink? A. The same way you clean your countertop, or use Soft Scrub ® liquid cleanser and a gray Scotch Brite ® pad. Rub over the entire sink to blend in the finish.

Q. How do I clean my stainless steel sink? A. After each use, rinse thoroughly. To minimize mineral deposits or water spotting, wipe the sink dry with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid any abrasive cleaners such as steel wool or scrub pads, as this will dull the finish. Avoid having household cleaning agents such as bleach sit in the sink as this may damage the finish. Stainless steel doesn’t rust; however, use of appropriate stainless steel sink cleaning agents is recommended for removing various surface residues.
