What if my glass of grape juice or wine or my tea or coffee cup leaves a ring on my
new SILTECH® windowsill? Typically, wiping the area with a wet paper towel removes the
ring discoloration completely…even after several days…heck even after several weeks!
However, if there is a particularly stubborn substance that still leaves a shadow of
discoloration behind after wiping with a wet paper towel, you can use an abrasive cleaner
such as Comet® or Ajax®. Wipe the cleanser into the discoloration in a circular motion with
a wet paper towel. Wipe the residue away with a new damp paper towel, then wipe dry.
For particularly stubborn stains (like permanent marker), using a wet (#7448) Scotch Brite®
pad and buffing in a circular motion removes it completely.
What about cigarette burns or stains? Neither leave lasting effects. If such an accident
should occur, apply an abrasive cleanser like Comet® or Ajax® and buff with a wet (#7448)
Scotch Brite® pad in a circular motion. Then wipe clean.
How is a SILTECH® windowsill sustainable? Because of the intrinsic properties of solid
surface materials (i.e. non-porous, fade resistant, scratch and stain resistant) along with
proper care and maintenance, it can literally last several lifetimes. And because of its
molecular properties, it can be recycled and used again…and again…and again…
Is a SILTECH® windowsill environmentally friendly? Yes, it is. Adhesive-free
windowsills can be returned to select facilities and organizations who, in turn, break the
material down into its base components, then re-process it into usable materials again.
SILTECH® windowsills are comprised of materials which possess low volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) and are considered to be non-toxic.
Additionally, the material is UL GREENGUARD Gold Certified for low chemical emissions
(which helps promote a healthier indoor air environment).
