HanStone™ Quartz Care & Maintenance

Manufactured by Hanwha

HanStone™ is a non-porous material that is highly stain, scratch, and heat resistant; however, it is not stain, scratch, or heat proof. Therefore, using common sense and the right care and maintenance can keep your HanStone™ beautiful for years to come.

Routine Care and Maintenance

Simply clean up any spills with soap and water. For routine cleaning, use small amount of cleaners that are non-bleach and nonabrasive along with warm water and damp cloth on a regular basis to keep the lustrous gloss and radiant sheen. Although HanStone™ is resistant to stains, any type of spill should be cleaned as soon as possible.

Preventative Care

Heat:

Athough HanStone™ is more resistant to heat compared to most of the surfacing materials in the market, all surfacing materials, including stone, can be damaged by extreme temperature changes, whether prolonged or sudden. Trivets and hot pads should be used when placing hot skillets, pans, or other heat generating appliances on the surface.

Scratches:

HanStone™’s durable surface is designed to withstand the normal use. While it is resistant to scratches, cuts, and chipping, cutting directly on HanStone™ Quartz Surfaces should be avoided. Using cutting boards and taking care not to drop or move heavy objects on the surface will help to ensure the long-lasting beauty of HanStone™ Quartz Surfaces.

Chemical:

There are some chemicals that can cause damage to HanStone™ Surfaces. Avoid exposing HanStone™ to any strong chemicals and solvents. It is important to note some of these chemicals and solvents can be found in household items including but not limited to: paint removers, paint and stain strippers that contain trichlorethane or methylene chloride, nail polish removers, bleach, furniture cleaners, oil soaps, permanent markers or inks, and chemicals with high alkaline/PH levels (Oven Cleaners, Drain Openers, etc.)

If any of the substances listed above come into contact with your HanStone™ Quartz Surface, rinse with plenty of water and follow routine cleaning procedures immediately.

Removing Difficult Spills

For stubborn or dried spills, if routine cleaning procedures do not work, use a non-abrasive cleaning pad along with common household cleaners like Formula 409 Glass and Surface Cleaner. If gum, nail polish, paint, or other substances are accidentally allowed to adhere to the surface, they can be removed by gently scraping off the substance with a plastic scraper or putty knife and by following routine cleaning procedures.
