Caesarstone® is a product based on up to 93% quartz that has outstanding properties to ensure ease of maintenance and longevity of your surfaces. It will withstand exposure to tea, wine, vinegar, lemon juice and strongly coloured substances. Everyday Cleaning Caesarstone® requires very little maintenance to keep the surface looking like new. For everyday, routine cleaning of Caesarstone® we recommend wiping the surface with warm soapy water (a mild detergent) and a damp cloth or alternatively use a quality spray and wipe type cleaner.
Caesarstone® Cream Cleanser
Caesarstone® Cream Cleanser has been specially formulated to remove the most stubborn stains such as red wine or beetroot while taking care of your Caesarstone® surfaces. It is also suitable for cleaning sinks and taps, baths and basins, shower recesses, tile surfaces and cook tops. Available for purchase through Caesarstone® showrooms or their online store.
Food Preparation
To avoid damage we always recommend cutting on an appropriate cutting board and never directly on the Caesarstone® surface.
Polishing
As Caesarstone® is virtually non-porous it will keep its lustrous gloss and ultra-smooth surface without polishing and it never needs sealing.
Heat Resistance
Caesarstone® will tolerate brief exposures to moderately hot temperatures, however prolonged direct contact with, or radiated heat from very hot pots can cause thermal shock, discolouration or damage. Therefore, we do not recommend placing hot pots, pans, electric frying pans, oven trays, etc. directly from the hotplate or out of the oven onto the surface of Caesarstone®. We always recommend the use of a hot pad or trivet to place hot items on.
Tough? Yes. Indestructible? No.
As with any surface, Caesarstone® can be permanently damaged by exposure to strong chemicals and solvents that undermine its physical properties. Do not use products that contain trichlorethane or methylene chloride, such as paint removers or stripper. Avoid any highly aggressive cleaning agents like oven cleaner that have high alkaline/pH levels. Should the surface be accidentally exposed to any of these damaging products, rinse immediately with water to neutralise the effect.

Extra stubborn dried spills and stains
For removal of these or if you wish to give your Caesarstone® surface a thorough clean then we recommend Caesarstone® brand Cream Cleanser and a 3M™ Scotchbrite™ Never Scratch™ All-Purpose Scrubber which can be used without damaging the stone, or alternatively applied to a soft damp cloth. When using Caesarstone® Cream Cleanser we recommend using a small amount of the Cream Cleanser on a 3M™ Scotchbrite™ Never Scratch™ All-Purpose Scrubber which has been thoroughly soaked in warm water.
To remove adhered materials like food, gum and nail polish, first scraped away the excess with a sharp blade. If there are any grey metal marks on the surface, a mild detergent will remove it. Household bleach can generally be used as an effective cleaner to remove stubborn marks, but care should be taken as some products are considerably stronger than others.
For Motivo™ pattern textured collection it may also be necessary to use a non-abrasive soft bristle brush for extra stubborn stains.
