Will the surface stain?
Surfaces and products will be sealed to help prevent staining
and for hygiene purposes. However spilt foodstuffs should
not be allowed to remain on the surface for long periods.
Some strongly colored or oily ingredients may cause discoloration
if left on the surface
Which polish should I use?
Depending on the finish applied, a
carnauba or bees wax can be used to polish a surface or product.
Regular polishing will keep your surface
looking beautiful and help defend against staining by creating
a barrier. Polishing is the first defense and is important.
Without regular polishing the surface may dull and be stained
more easily.
There are some cleaning products which also polish. These
products may also help reduce staining. Please click

Is it waterproof?
Once sealed the concrete is resistant
to water as long as the sealed surface remains undamaged.
The sealer should be reapplied periodically depending on intensity
of use.
How do I clean it?
Our surfaces and products should be cleaned with warm soapy
water using a bleach free cleaning product such as Ecover.
Scrubbing with abrasive powders or pads is not recommended
as this may dull and damage the surface sheen and sealer coating.
Corrosive / solvent materials and cleaners should be avoided.
Lighter colours are naturally more susceptible to staining
from strong colours so extra care is needed in regard to maintenance
and cleaning.

Can I
cut or chop on it?
Cutting and chopping or any other abrasive action should be
done on a chopping board and not directly on the surface or
product.
Will it chip?
Edges / corners of the surface or product can be chipped if
knocked by heavy items. Care should be taken when using heavy
pots and pans.
It may be possible to mend chipped or damaged items. (Please
contact us for details).
How do I polish it
Depending on the finish applied, a beeswax polish can be used
to polish a surface or product. With regular applications
this will help reduce the risk of staining.
There are some cleaning products which also polish to leave
a thin film on the surface. These products may also help reduce
staining.
Can I put hot pots on it?
Our surfaces / products are inherently heat resistant but
the surface sealants used may be damaged or discolored by
the heat from a hot utensil. We recommend the use of heat
resistant pads or trivets.
