Care and Cleaning

Surfaces should be cleaned with natural, pH neutral, non-abrasive cleaning products such as Method, Mrs. Meyers or simple dish soap. Granite and natural stone cleaners may also be used so long as they do not contain solvents.

Do not use heavy abrasives, bleach based, or ammoniated cleaners such as Comet, Barkeepers Friend or similar.

Avoid using harsh chemicals and solvents such as nail polish remover and paint thinner as they may damage the sealer.

Damage to the sealer can be repaired in most cases, but is not a responsibility or covered free of charge by Standard Concrete in the event of abuse or misuse.

Avoid cutting on, or setting hot pots directly on your counter.  Although the concrete itself has extreme momentary heat resistance. extended or continuous placement of hot items may permanently mark or damage the sealer. When possible use a hot plate or trivet.

Heavy objects with burs or abrasive bottoms can mark counters when slid over the surface such as pottery or ceramics.

Use common normal care with respect to oil, acids, and foods. Cleanup spills as soon as possible to prevent possible staining or minor etching. Best practice is to clean up spills in a timely manner.
