Use and Care Manual

SILESTONE
GENERAL USAGE ADVICE
Routine cleaning and maintenance due to their low porosity, Silestone® and ECO Line Colour Series
surfaces are highly resistant to household stains. Cosentino recommends you use Q-Action* to clean its
Silestone® and ECO Line Colour Series surfaces. If you don’t have this product, the best option is to use
water and neutral soap. You should then finish off by rinsing the surface with plenty of water and drying
it with kitchen paper or a clean cotton dishtowel
Cleaning Stubborn Stains When faced with stubborn stains, the best way to fix it depends on the type of
stain. The most usual cases are:
GREASE STAINS
Apply Q-Action or similar (dishwasher soapy product) onto the stain and rub it with a sponge until it
disappears. Repeat the process if necessary. Next, rinse with a generous amount of water and dry the
affected area.
LIMESCALE
Use cleaning vinegar and a damp sponge. If the stain persists, you can use a limescale remover that has
been diluted with water. Never leave it on for more than 2 minutes. Repeat the process if necessary.
Rinse with plenty of water and dry with paper.
SILICONE & PUTTY STAINS
We recommend you remove the stains as soon as they appear. To do so, use a knife held horizontally
and CleanColorsil, and scrub with a sponge. If you do not have any CleanColorsil, you can use a well-
known brand of silicone remover. Afterwards, rinse with plenty of water and dry
CLEANING DIFFICULT STAINS
For difficult stains, pour some Q-Action (or a similar product) onto the affected area and leave for 2
minutes. Next, scrub with a gentle scouring pad (for glass-top cookers, blue type: no scratch), rinse with
plenty of water and dry. If the stain persists, contact the fabricator or studio who supplied you with your
Silestone materials.
