Use and Care Manual

20 21
Prolonged exposure to any cleaning solutions may cause permanent damage/
discoloration to the countertop surface. Avoid exposing Caesarstone to chemicals,
such as oven grill cleaners, oor strippers, paint removers/strippers, oil soaps, toilet
bowl cleaners, tarnish removers, furniture cleaners, drain products, battery acid,
dishwasher detergent, etc. Should your surface accidentally be exposed to any
potentially damaging products, rinse immediately with water to neutralize the effect.
How Durable Is Caesarstone Quartz?
Tough, yes. Indestructible, no. Caesarstone is resistant to cracks, scratches and
stains. However, like most materials, force and/or pressure from objects can damage
the surface. As with any surface, Caesarstone can be permanently damaged by
exposure to strong chemicals and solvents. Use of a minimum 1/8” radius on an
edge detail prole can reduce the susceptibility for chipping on the edge.
A greater prole radius (minimum 1/4”) is recommended for high trafc
areas, such as sink areas and commercial installations.
Caesarstone surfaces are scratch resistant; however, avoid using sharp objects
such as knives or screwdrivers directly on the surface. The use of a cutting
board is always recommended.
