Counters Corian are a type of solid surface counters that were first created by the Dupont company. This stone has a shiny and uniform appearance, making it suitable for use in bathrooms and kitchens. If you have this type of counter in your kitchen, it is essential to take appropriate protective measures, including removing stains and repairing scratches. By dedicating a short amount of time each day to these tasks, you can enjoy your Corian for years to come.
The beauty of Corian stones lies in their simplicity and cleanliness. Corian is like granite, natural, and like quartz, durable. However, when it comes to cleaning, the situation can be somewhat different. Since this stone does not have any pores or tiny openings, there are more options available for cleaning it. This feature (the solid surface and lack of pores or openings) can give you peace of mind regarding the infiltration of bacteria and dirt into the surface.
Corian counters can be cleaned easily with a damp cloth and some soapy water. You can also use various commercial cleaners and even ammonia-based cleaners without fearing damage to the surface. Of course, you should avoid cleaners specifically designed for windows and doors, as they may create cracks and splits on the surface.
Stains left by hard water on the surface are another issue that can be easily cleaned with lime-based cleaners. If the surface has stubborn and indelible stains, you can use non-scratch abrasive pads. Always clean the counters before stains cause mineral deposits on the surface. This practice will help extend the lifespan of the surfaces. Never use harsh chemical or abrasive cleaners that can severely damage the surface, nor should you use rough abrasives that can scratch the surface.
Corian surface is generally resistant to scratches from items typically found in the kitchen. However, it can sometimes become scratched due to unsuitable cleaning agents or other tools. Nevertheless, there is no need for concern here. One of the other benefits this surface has over its competitors is its integrated and uniform appearance. This means that all parts of the stone, both internally and externally, have a consistent color, allowing you to easily repair the surface with repair kits available in stores.
However, hot objects are another potential threat to this type of counter. It is recommended to avoid placing high-temperature objects on the surface without any kind of protection, as this can cause deformation or discoloration in that area.
