Routine
Cleaning
of
Countertops
and
Sinks
Meganite®
sanitary
properties
do

food,
dirt,
bacteria
and
germs
to
penetrate
it.
Routine
cleaning
with
soap
and
water
and
a
sponge,
or
window
cleaner
and
paper
towels
will
remove
most
dirt
and
stains.
For
stubborn
stains,
removable
procedures
will
depend
on
the
finish
of
the
surface.
•
Matte
or
Satin
finish:
Rub
the
stain
with
a
scouring
cleanser
and
a
burgundy
or
green-colored
Scotch-Brite®
pad
with
water.
Always
rub
in
a
circular
motion,
then
rinse
and
towel
dry.
Rub
the
entire
surface
occasionally
with
the
Scotch-Brite®
pad
to
maintain
the
finish.
•
Semi-Gloss
Finish:
Use
a
Non-abrasive
cleanser
with
diluted
bleach
and
a
white
Scotch-Brite®
pad.
Rub
in
a
circular
motion.
Rinse
and
towel
dry.
A
non-abrasive
polish
like
Hopes
Polish,
available
at
most
home
stores,
may
be
used
to
enhance
the
shine.
•
High-Gloss
Finish:
Follow
the
procedure
for
semi-gloss
surfaces,
but
use
a
sponge
instead
of
a
Scotch-Brite®
pad.
If
the
area
is
dull
in
contrast
with
the
surrounding
surface,
use
a
white
polishing
compound
with
a
sponge
to
get
a
higher
gloss.

Surfaces
and
Sinks:
Wipe
sinks
and
bowls
with
diluted
household
bleach
(1/1
water/bleach
solution)
to
disinfect.

or
satin
finish:
Sand
with
180-grit
(120
micron)
or

micron)
fine
sandpaper
until
the
cut
or
scratch
is
removed;
restore
finish
with
an
abrasive
cleanser
and
a
burgundy
Scotch-Brite®
pad
to
the
same
finish
as
the
adjacent
surface.
Semi-Gloss
Finishes:
Sand
with

and
a
low
speed
(1500
-

polisher
equipped
with
a
wool
pad;

Preventing
damage:

can
be
easily
repaired.
However,
use
the
following
guidelines
to
prevent
damage:
•
As
with
other
solid
surface
materials,
Meganite®
should
be
protected
from
hot
pans
directly
from
the
stove
or
oven
by
the
use
of
hot
pads
or
trivets
equipped
with
rubber-tipped
feet.
•
Always
place
a
flame-resistant
hot
pad
or
trivet
underneath
a
heat-generating
appliance
such
as
a
crock-pot
or
electric
frying
pan.
•
Some
strong
chemicals
can
cause
damage
to
your
Meganite®
surface
if
left
in
contact
very
long.
Paint
removers,
oven
cleaners,
solvents
containing
methylene
chloride
or
acetone
(nail
polish
remover),
acid
drain
cleaners,
toilet
bowl
cleaners,
contact
adhesive
solvent,
rust
removers,
or
lacquer
thinners
should
be
flushed
with
soapy
water
as
quickly
as
possible,
rinsed
with
clean
water
and
towel
tried.
•
Run
cold
water
when
pouring
boiling
water
into
sinks
and
allow
hot
grease
to
cool
slightly
before
pouring
onto
sink
or
disposal.
•
Do
not
cut
directly
on
a
Meganite®
surface,
always
use
a
cutting
board.
*NOTE:
White
or
