Congratulations on choosing Koris solid surfacefor your countertops! Renowned for its seamless beauty, durability, and non-porous nature, Koris is a fantastic choice for kitchens and bathrooms. Like any premium surface, proper care will ensure it stays stunning for years to come.
The good news is that maintaining Koris countertops is remarkably simple. By following a few basic guidelines, you can protect your investment and keep your surfaces looking as good as the day they were installed.
Koris solid surface is a non-porous material. This means:
It resists stains: Spills can't seep into the surface.
It inhibits bacterial growth: The seamless surface leaves no place for germs to hide.
It’s repairable: Minor scratches and scuffs can be easily sanded away, restoring the surface to its original glory.
For more stubborn stains like coffee, wine, or food coloring, don't worry. Koris's non-porous nature works in your favor.
Create a Gentle Abrasive Paste: Sprinkle a non-bleach household cleanser (like Bon Ami or Bar Keepers Friend) or a paste of baking soda and water onto a damp cloth.
Gently Rub: Using a circular motion, rub the stain gently. The fine abrasives will lift the stain without damaging the surface.
Rinse and Dry: Thoroughly rinse the area with water and dry it completely.
For times when you need to disinfect—especially after preparing raw meat or poultry—Koris can handle it.
Recommended: A solution of 50% water and 50% isopropyl alcohol or a bleach solution (no more than 10% bleach) is safe and effective.
Application: Spray or wipe the solution onto the surface, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water and dry.
Avoid ammonia-based cleaners as they can cause discoloration over time.
Following these simple rules will prevent most potential damage.
Use trivets or hot pads. While Koris is heat-resistant, sudden or extreme temperature changes (like placing a boiling pot directly from the stove) can cause thermal shock and potentially lead to cracking.
Use a cutting board. Koris is durable, but sharp knives will dull over time and can leave fine cuts on the surface. Protect your knives and your countertop.
Clean up spills promptly, especially strong chemicals like nail polish remover, paint thinner, or oven cleaners. While resistant, prolonged contact can damage the surface.
Use harsh, gritty scouring pads or powders. Abrasive pads like steel wool can leave permanent scratches.
Use cleaners containing strong acids or solvents (e.g., concentrated bleach, drain cleaners) without immediate rinsing.
Stand or sit on your countertops. While strong, excessive point load can be a risk.
One of the greatest advantages of Koris solid surface is its repairability. Minor scratches and scuffs can be effortlessly removed.
For Light Scratches: Use a Scotch-Brite® pad. Gently scrub the area in a circular motion. This will lightly abrade the surface, blending the scratch away. Follow with a clean, damp cloth to remove any residue.
For Deeper Scratches or Burns: For more significant damage, you can sand the area. Start with a coarse-grit sandpaper (like 120-grit) to remove the damage, then progressively move to finer grits (220-grit, 320-grit, and finally 400-grit) to restore the smooth finish. Always sand with water to keep the paper from clogging. For extensive damage, consult your installation professional.
Your Koris solid surface countertops are designed for both beauty and longevity. A consistent, gentle cleaning routine is the key to preserving their like-new appearance. By treating them with basic care and avoiding harsh chemicals and abrasives, you can enjoy the seamless, hygienic, and elegant surface of your Koris countertops for a lifetime.
