The Solid Surface was created for a lifetime of easy care. Just follow the
simple guidelines listed here to the keep countertop surface looking nice.
Routine Care:
The motorhome countertops are finished with one type of finish: matte/satin.
All solid surface sinks and bowls have the matte/satin finish. Soapy water or
ammonia-based cleaners will remove most dirt and stains from all tops and
bowls. However, slightly different techniques must be used to remove different
stains. Follow the recommendations below.
Cleaning Countertops:
• Most dirt and stains: Use soapy water or ammonia-based cleaner.
• Water marks: Wipe with damp cloth and towel dry.
• Difficult stains: Use soft scrub and a Grey Scotchbrite Pad.
• Disinfecting: Occasionally wipe surface with diluted household
bleach (one part water and one part bleach).
Cleaning Solid Surfaces Sink:
Occasionally clean by using Soft Scrub Liquid Cleanser and a Grey
Scotchbrite pad. Scrub the sink, rinse and towel dry. Do this as often as necessary.
Removing Cuts and Scratches:
Because the beauty of the surface goes all the way through the Solid
Surface, the countertops are completely renewable. Use the following
instructions to remove minor cuts and scratches:
• Sand with 180 grit and then 320 grit sandpaper until the scratch is gone.
• Restore the finish using a Grey Scotchbrite pad. Never sand hard in one
small area. Feather out lightly to blend restoration.
Preventing Heat Damage:
The Solid Surface withstands heat better than ordinary surface materials;
however, hot pans and some heat-generating appliances, such as frying pans or
crockpots, can damage the surface. To prevent heat damage always use a hot
pad or a trivet with rubber feet to protect the surface. In most cases the surface
can be repaired if it is accidentally damaged.
