Daily Cleaning

For daily cleaning, a damp microfiber cloth is enough. For regular cleaning, we suggest using a neutral liquid detergent with a soft sponge or a microfiber cloth.

More Intensive Cleaning

Persistent stains can be removed with a slightly abrasive sponge; if necessary, use a specially formulated stain remover (see table). Do not use steel wool pads, because these would leave metal traces that would then have to cleaned again.

Precautions

Remove any spills of staining liquids (like coffee, tea, red wine), caustic substances (such as oven cleaner), acids and colorants as soon as possible and rinse with water.

You can place hot pans directly on the surface; however, we recommend the use of trivets to protect the surface over time. Ceramic knives can damage the surface; therefore, we recommend the use of cutting boards. Avoid hitting the most susceptible parts of the surface, such as corners and edges.
