Care & Maintenance
Its hard, nonporous surface makes CaesarStone simple to clean. In most cases, soap and water or a mild detergent is all that is required to maintain its luster. If necessary, a non-abrasive cleanser such as Soft Scrub Liquid Gel with Bleach or Comet Gel can be used along with a green scrub pad such as Scotch-Brite. Adhered materials like food, gum, nail polish, or dried paint can be scraped away with a plastic putty knife; any marks left by the blade can be removed with Soft Scrub and a Scotch-Brite pad. Thoroughly rinse the surface with clean water to remove residue.
While CaesarStone does not require sealants or waxes to maintain its luster, occasional polishing with Soft Scrub Bleach Gel or Comet Gel will keep the quartz surfacing looking its best.
CaesarStone prides itself in providing our customers a virtually care-free surface, but as with any product, excessive abuse can harm its finish. With a small amount of care, your CaesarStone surface will look as great as the day you bought it for years to come.

How durable is CaesarStone?
CaesarStone is resistant to cracks, chips, scratches and stains. However, like most materials, excessive force and/or pressure from objects can damage the surface.
CaesarStone is resistant to most stains caused by fruit juices, liquid food coloring, coffee, tea, wine, grapes and soft drinks.
CaesarStone’s high gloss finish and non-porous nature provide maximum resistance to staining and fully eliminates the need for any sealing. The non-porous quality of the surface greatly reduces the potential for bacterial growth.
Do I need to apply a sealer to CaesarStone?
No. CaesarStone is a non-porous surface, so you will never have to apply sealer to any CaesarStone surface.
Can I cut on my CaesarStone countertop?
CaesarStone is composed 93% natural quartz, providing it with superior strength and beauty. Although your fine cutlery will not harm CaesarStone, using a cutting board is recommended to prevent dulling the surface.
How do I maintain the polish on my CaesarStone countertop?
Polished: Due to its high density and non-porous qualities, normal cleaning with a damp cloth will keep your CaesarStone surface looking like the first day it was installed. To avoid dulling the surface's shine, make sure to use a non-abrasive cleaner.
Honed: Please understand that HONED finishes will require more daily maintenance than our polished finishes. Since there is more exposed surface area with honed finishes, metal marks, finger prints and other signs of daily living will show on honed material. Most of these marks can be easily removed with little effort and cleaning products such as Soft Scrub. For tough stains, work the area with a Scotch Brite pad.
How does CaesarStone withstand heat?
CaesarStone is structurally more heat resistant in comparison to other stone, including granite. However, any stone material can potentially be damaged by sudden and rapid temperature changes, especially near the edges. Therefore, using inexpensive and readily available hot pads or trivets is always recommended, especially when using cooking units such as electric frying pans, crock pots, or roaster ovens. As CaesarStone is not affected by heat below 400°F, it is advised that hot pans not be placed directly on the material.
Is caring for my CaesarStone surface really this easy?
CaesarStone’s care-free maintenance and everlasting benefits and performance allows more time for the things that matter most to you. Whether you selected CaesarStone to be your “surface of choice” for food preparation or to simply beautify your home, you can enjoy the peace of mind knowing that CaesarStone is completely worry and care-free.
Can CaesarStone be used outdoors?
While some customers have opted to install CaesarStone in outdoor applications - this use is not covered by our Limited 10 Year Warranty. CaesarStone has not been tested in prolonged UV ray exposure settings.
