The care and maintenance guidelines will help you keep your Novaestone quartz surfaces in pristine
condition for years to come.
ROUTINE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
For routine cleaning, use small quantities of non-bleach, non-abrasive cleaners together with warm water and a
damp cloth or sponge. Liquid spills including fruits, vegetables, food colorings and curries, should be wiped up
and cleaned with a mild detergent and water immediately after detection.
PREVENTING HEAT DAMAGE
Protective trivets and heat pads must always be used underneath cookware such as skillets, saucepans, pots or dishes
when removing hot items directly from any heat source (oven cooktop or microwave) and placing onto the
Novaestone surface. Prolonged or sudden extreme temperature changes can permanently damage the material which
is not covered under warranty.
PREVENTING SCRATCHES
The use of cutting boards and taking care not to drop or move heavy objects on the surface will help to ensure the
long lasting beauty of Novaestone quartz surfaces. Novaestone’s resilient surface has been designed to withstand
normal daily use and whilst it is resistant to scratches, cuts and chipping, cutting directly on the Novaestone quartz
surface should be avoided.
