How to Maintain Your Porcelain Benchtops

Modern kitchen with glossy white porcelain benchtop

Porcelain may showcase an exquisite beauty but to maintain its pristine look and function, you need to take good care of it. Preserve your sophisticated benchtops now with these maintenance tips.

Perform Routine Cleaning

Keeping your benchtop clean is simple. All you need is to wipe it with a damp cloth and a gentle cleaner. You can also use a separate, soft sponge intended for surface cleaning to maintain hygiene.

Remove Stains and Spills

Accidental stains and spills from food preparation and meal consumption can happen. With the acidic nature of these substances, you must wipe them immediately with a clean cloth to avoid discolouring your elegant porcelain white surfaces.

Avoid Applying Hard Pressure

While your porcelain benchtop is durable, the edges may crack due to hard, sudden impact. Don’t use your countertops to break frozen items or never lean on the edges for too long to avoid chipping or cracking.

Use the Right Cooking Tools

Like natural stones, ceramic porcelain tiles are also susceptible to heat damage. When installed in the kitchen, make sure to use trivets to protect your surfaces. Never place your hot pans directly on the surface to avoid discolouration, warping, and other related issues.

Call the Professionals

While daily cleaning is easy, trying to repair your cracked benchtop alone can lead into further problems. You must seek professional stone repairs to solve the issue. Experts have the right tools and knowledge to fix it properly, restoring its beauty and functionality.
