Staining the scratch with iodine:
Mahogany - Use new iodine.
Brown or Cherry Mahogany - Use iodine that has turned dark brown.
Maple - Dilute one part iodine with one part denatured alcohol.
Commercial scratch removers, or stick wax to match the wood fi nish, can also be used. After the scratch has
been hidden, polish or wax the entire area. Deep scratches should be repaired and fi nished by a professional.
COUNTERTOPS
Solid Surface
Guidelines to maintain the countertop surface:
Routine Care:
The motorhome solid surface countertops and sinks have a matte/satin fi nish. Soapy water or ammonia-based
cleaners will remove most dirt and stains from all tops and bowls. Individual techniques may be used to remove
different stains. Follow the recommendations below.
Cleaning the Countertops:
• Most dirt and stains - Use soapy water or ammonia-based cleaner.
• Water marks - Wipe with damp cloth and towel dry.
• Diffi cult stains - Use Soft Scrub
®
Liquid Cleanser and a gray Scotchbrite
®
pad.
• Disinfecting - Occasionally wipe surface with diluted household bleach (one part water and one part
bleach).
Cleaning the Solid Surfaces Sink:
Occasionally clean by using Soft Scrub
®
and a gray Scotchbrite
®
pad. Scrub the sink, rinse and towel dry.
Removing Cuts and Scratches:
Solid Surface countertops are completely renewable. Use the following instructions to remove minor cuts and
scratches.
• Sand with 180 grit sandpaper, followed by 320 grit, until the scratch is gone.
• Restore the fi nish using a gray Scotchbrite
®
pad. Never sand hard in one small area. Feather out lightly to
blend restoration.
Preventing Heat Damage:
Hot pans and 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.
Other Important Tips:
Avoid using strong chemicals on the Solid Surface such as paint removers or oven cleaners. If these chemicals
come in contact with the Solid Surface, quickly wash with water. Avoid contact with nail polish or nail polish
remover. If contact is made, quickly wash with water.
NOTE:
DO NOT cut directly on the solid surface. When pouring boiling water into the Solid Surface
sink, run cold water to prevent damage.
