Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
CORIAN
®
Regal has chosen Corian® countertop material because
of its elegance and durability. Periodic maintenance will
ensure its beauty. Corian withstands heat much better than
ordinary countertop materials but you must still use a hot
pad or trivet when taking materials directly out of the oven
or stove top to protect from damaging the surface. Avoid
cutting directly on the surface.
Another feature of a Corian countertop is that it is non-
porous. Therefore, dirt and germs do not penetrate it.
Corian will not support the growth of germs and mildew.
To disinfect or clean see the table. You can use a green
Scotch-brite pad along with the table solutions to remove
stubborn stains.
Darker colors tend to require more frequent cleaning to
maintain a uniform fi nish. Also, darker colors tend to show
fi ne scratches more easily and require more attention than
lighter colors.
Corian is a matte or satin fi nish. To remove scratches and
nicks, sand the surface with 180-220 grit sandpaper until
the nick is gone. To restore the fi nish use an abrasive
cleanser and a green Scotch-Brite pad. Wrap the sandpaper
around a block of wood. The block will sand the areas fl at
instead of creating hills and valleys.
