1. Remove most stains and dirt
To clean common stains and dirt, use soapy water or a detergent that contains ammonia, such as a specialized cleaner for stone surfaces. Gently scrub the area with a soft cloth or sponge, then rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean towel to avoid water spots.
2. Remove scale
For scale buildup, dampen a clean cloth and gently wipe the affected area. Follow up by drying it with a dry cloth to prevent any residue from settling in. For tougher deposits, you may use a mild acidic cleaner like white vinegar, but always test on a small area first.
3. Treat knife marks, burn marks, and scratches (Method 1)
If your surface has a matte finish, start by using 400-600 grit sandpaper to gently smooth out the imperfections. Once the marks are less visible, use a gentle detergent and a non-abrasive scouring pad to restore the original texture and shine of the surface.
4. Treat knife marks, burn marks, and scratches (Method 2)
If your countertop has a glossy or mirrored finish, begin by sanding with 800-1200 grit sandpaper to even out the surface. Then, use a polishing wax along with a wool polishing pad on a low-speed polisher (around 1500-2000 rpm) to bring back the shine. Finish by wiping the surface with a clean, lint-free cloth for a smooth and polished look.
5. Countertop renovation
If your countertop is heavily scratched or has been damaged over time (1-2 years), it's best to consult a professional. They will first use a sander to remove deep scratches and then apply a high-quality polishing compound with a machine polisher to restore the surface to its original condition. Regular maintenance can help extend the life of your countertop and keep it looking new for longer.
