| Most dirt and
stains are cleaned by using water with soap and ammonia-based
cleanser. In case of watermarks, wipe with damp cloth or sponge,
and dry with towel. |
| � |
| In order to
remove severe and difficult stains, |
| � |
| 1) |
in case
of a dull finish, use an abrasive cleanser and a green
Sotch-Brite
�
(registered trademark of the 3M Company) pad in a
circular motion. |
| 2) |
in case
of a semi-gloss finish, use Soft Scrub
�
(registered trademark of the Clorox Company)
diluted bleach and a white Scotch-Brite
�
pad in a circular motion. |
| 3) |
in case of a
high-gloss finish, follow procedure for semi gloss, but
use a sponge instead of a Scotch-Brite
�
pad, or use a white polishing compound . |
|
| �
|
| � |
| Occasionally
wipe with diluted household bleach (1/1 water/bleach solution) |
| �
|
| � |
| 1) |
In case
of a dull finish. |
|
Sand
with 180-(120 micron) or 220-grit(60 micron) fine
sandpaper until the cut and scratch is removed; restore
finish with an abrasive cleanser and a green Scotch-Brite
pad to the same finish as the adjacent surface. |
| 2) |
In case
of semi-gloss finish. |
|
Sand
with 400-grit(30 micron) sandpaper; restore finish with
a nonabrasive cleanser and a white Scotch-Brite pad. |
| 3) |
In case
of high-gloss finish. |
|
Sand with
400-grit(30 micron) sandpaper; sand with 600-grit(20
micron) sandpaper; buff with polishing compound and a
low speed (1500-2000 rpm) polisher equipped with a wool
pad; finish with a wax. |
|
| � |
| �� All the above sanding and
polishing should be done in a circular motion. |

|
| In most cases,
Staron can be repaired with ease if accidentally damaged.
However, be sure to follow the guidelines here to prevent any
permanent damage to Staron. |
| � |
| 1) |
Heat
damage |
|
Even
though Staron has an excellent heat resistant property
compared with other ordinary countertops, placing hot
pans, as well as some heat-generating appliances such as
frying pans or crockpots can damage a Staron surface.
Always use a hot pad or a trivet with rubber feet to
protect Staron. Avoid using Staron for a long time over
80�� (170��). |
| 2) |
Other
damage |
|
| - |
Avoid
exposing Staron to strong chemicals such as
paint removers, oven cleaners, etc. Surfaces
exposed to these chemicals should be promptly
flushed with water. Contact over a long period
of time will cause spots and require extensive
sanding to remove. |
| - |
Do
not cut directly on a Staron surface. |
| - |
Use
a cutting board. |
| - |
Run
cold water when pouring boiling water into
sinks. |
| - |
Remove nail
polish with a non-acetone-based nail polish
remover and flush with water. |
