CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Corian is not self-cleaning, whatever you have been told! But it is simple to maintain its initial appearance.

For everyday cleaning, try the easy way first!
Although liquids cannot penetrate Corian, it is best to wipe up spills as they occur. Just use a damp cloth and a mild cream abrasive cleanser or a common household degreaser (eg. Jif, Bar Keepers Friend). Always clean using a circular motion. If a stain needs more attention, refer to our cleaning methods stated herein.

Once or twice a week, give your sink a beauty treatment.
Remove all the fat and oil residue of normal food preparation from the sink, using a detergent or a hard-surface cleaner. Use a spray with 3/4 of liquid household bleach and 1/4 water to spray the sink and leave a few hours or overnight. The exposure time should be limited to 16hrs. In the morning, rise or clean with a damp cloth. The sink should then be beautifully clean, with very little effort.

Dealing with resistant stains:
On any problem area, try the easy way first.
Common household spills, such as vinegar, coffee, tea, lemon juice, dyes, ketchup, red wine or vegetable spills:
First try the easy methods, then progress with an abrasive plastic scouring pad and a detergent or an ammonia based hard - surface cleaner.
Only with a really persistent stain as lily pollen, or saffron, or with alight scratch, should you need to resort to an abrasive plastic scouring pad and rub over the stain with some bleach.
Rinse several times with warm water and dry with a soft cloth. Always restore the overall lustre afterwards, using a damp cloth and a mild abrasive cleaner and blend the scrubbed area into the entire surface by rubbing in a circular motion.

If hard water scale has built up around the waster or taps, use an abrasive plastic scouring pad and rub over the stain with a standard household lime-scale remover and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Rinse several times with warm water and dry with a soft cloth. Restore the floss level as described above.
