Maintenance Schedule and Care Tips 

Our countertops are sealed with topical UV cured sealer which is highly scratch resistant, durable and stainproof. 

Everyday Maintenance

It is recommended that you use a neutral cleaner to clean the concrete surface.  Wipe up food or other spills soon after they happen with a soft cloth – especially acidic, alcohol-based or oil-based spills.  Never use abrasive cleaners, acidic cleaners, household dust treatment, oil soaps or furniture polish as these products may make the surface slick or soften the finish.  Never use vinegar or ammonia and water as a cleaning solution as they act as a stripper and may damage the finish.  Use a little bee’s wax or a carnauba-based wax (or a comparable countertop polish) periodically to help with the micro scratches that occur with everyday use.  Simply apply a light, tight coat and wait until it dries to a dull finish. Once dry, buff by hand with a clean, soft cloth.  Carnauba and bee’s wax are food safe and are not harmful if ingested.

Cautions and Limitations

Scratches can be avoided on countertops by utilizing wood, stone or manmade cutting boards.  Never cut directly on the concrete surface, as this may damage the finish.  Be aware that UV sealer, though highly resistant to heat, should never come into contact with a pot or pan directly off the stove.  Use the correct heat-resistant pads under these implements to keep from damaging the finish on your concrete counters.  

The best way to keep your concrete countertop looking its best is to understand its limitations.  If you follow these maintenance techniques and take proper care, you will enjoy your counters for many years.
