LX Viatera Quartz Surfaces

 General Cleaning

Viatera is resistant to most stains including wine, lemon juice, tea, coffee, and fruits and vegetables.

 Normal cleaning requires only a damp cloth and a mild household detergent (such as those listed below). For best results, clean spills as soon as possible and dry the surface with a soft towel.

  Cleaning Products

Some generally accepted cleaning products for routine "Care and Maintenance" of Viatera include:

• Windex Multi-Surface Cleaner
• Simple Green (lime-scale remover)
• Diluted vinegar-type cleaners
• Greased Lightning
• Formula 409 Glass and Surface Cleaner
• Lysol products

  Cleaning No-Nos

 Do not use abrasive and/or alkaline cleaning products or materials (Ajax, Comet, etc. and some 3M Scotch Brite pads), as they can permanently dull the surface. When trying a new cleaning product test it on an inconspicuous area first. Always thoroughly rinse and dry the surface by hand when finished.  

While Viatera is stain-resistant, some stains are more difficult to remove than others. Mild non-abrasive cleansers help to restore the original appearance. 

For dried spills, a non-abrasive scrub pad can be used. For substances such as paint, gum, or food, carefully use a razor blade to scrape away the residue prior to cleaning. The scraping may leave a grey metal mark on the surface which can be easily cleaned using a cleanser and non-abrasive pad. For stubborn spots or stains, apply a pad of soaked paper towels and approved cleanser to the area and allow it to sit for a few minutes then proceed with necessary cleaning methods and buffing. Rinse thoroughly and hand-dry to remove cleaning residues.

  If stain persists, contact the supplier/installer of your Viatera surface. Excessive/prolonged heat can damage your Viatera surface
