Maintenance

Swanstone should be cleaned

fine kitchen or bath fixture.
For kitchen sinks and coun­tertops, rinse any food or
beverage residue as soon
as possible; follow up with
normal household cleaners.
To remove residue that cannot
be rinsed away or removed
with other types of cleaners,
use powdered abrasive clean­ers and/or a nylon or plastic
scrubbing pad. Vanity tops
should be cleaned with normal
household cleaners. Cleaners
designed for removing mineral­based stains can be used on
Swanstone, as well as a mild
solution (50/50) of chlorine
bleach and water. In the
event of a scratch, start with
powdered abrasive cleaner
and a scrubbing pad; if further
attention is needed, use white
automotive rubbing compound
or light sanding with a 400
grit or 40 micron sandpaper.
