POINTS TO NOTE:
Scratches:
scratches, dust and normal signs of wear and tear are rather more visible on dark and heavily
pigmented colours than on lighter, textured colours.
Chemicals:
accidental spillages of strong chemicals (such as paint stripper, brush cleaner, metal polish, oven
cleaner, cleaners containing methylene chloride, acidic drain cleaners, acetone-based nail polish, etc.), should
immediately be washed over with plenty of soapy water, to avoid damaging the Corian
polish with an acetone-free nail polish remover and follow this by rinsing thoroughly with water. Undetected
or prolonged exposure to chemicals can damage the surface. More detailed information about chemical
exposure, cleaning and general care can be found in the Corian
FOR ADDITONAL SUPPORT:

is solid by nature and utterly homogeneous. Because of these properties, it is very easy to "refresh".
