MEGANITE Care
 
 

MeganiteŽ is a homogeneous solid surface with mineral-filled acrylic polymer material that makes maintenance easy.

Routine maintenance will keep it looking new and like new.

NOTE: Darker colors of MeganiteŽ tend to require more maintenance than lighter colors.

Routine Cleaning of Countertops and Sinks
Just use soap and water with soap or an ammonia based cleanser (example: glass cleanser). Wipe away water the stains using a damp cloth or sponge.

Removing Difficult Stains:
Dull Finishes: Use an abrasive cleanser and a burgundy Scotch-BriteŽ pad. Rub in a circular motion.

Semi-Gloss Surfaces: Use Soft ScrubŽ diluted bleach and a white Scotch-BriteŽ pad. Rub in a circular motion.

High-Gloss Surfaces: Follow the procedure for semi-gloss surfaces, but use a sponge instead of a Scotch-BriteŽ 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.


Disinfecting Surfaces and Sinks
Occasionally wipe sinks and bowls with diluted household bleach (1/1 water/bleach solution) to disinfect.

Removing Cuts and Scratches
Dull finishes: Sand with 180-grit (120 micron) or 220-grit (60 micron) fine sandpaper until the cut and scratch is removed; restore finish with an abrasive cleanser and a burgundy Scotch-BriteŽ pad to the same finish as the adjacent surface.Semi-Gloss Finishes: Sand with 400-grit (30 micron) sandpaper; restore finish with a nonabrasive cleanser and a white Scotch-BriteŽ pad.High-gloss finishes: Sand with 400-grit (30 micron) or 600-grit (20 micron) sandpaper; buff with polishing pad at a low speed (1500 - 2000 rpm) polisher equipped with a wool pad; finish with a wax. All of the above sanding and polishing should be done in a circular motion.

Preventing damage
In most cases, MeganiteŽ can be easily repaired. However, follow these guidelines to prevent any permanent damage.

Heat damage
Even though MeganiteŽ has an excellent heat resistant property compared with other ordinary countertops, placing hot pans, as well as some heat-generating appliances such as frying pans or crockpots can damage a MeganiteŽ surface. Always use a hot pad or a trivet with rubber feet to protect MeganiteŽ. Avoid long-term exposure of MeganiteŽ to temperatures over (170 F).

Other Damage
Avoid exposing MeganiteŽ to strong chemicals such as paint removers and oven cleaners. Surfaces exposed to these chemicals should be promptly flushed with water. Contact over a long period of time will cause spots and require extensive sanding.
* Do not cut directly on a MeganiteŽ surface.
* Use a cutting board.
* Run cold water when pouring boiling water into sinks.
* Remove nail polish with a non-acetone-based nail polish
remover and flush with water.

All the above sanding and polishing should be done in a circular motion.
