It’s one thing to choose the best material that suits your benchtops in Perth, but there are also other aspects that you need to know about after purchasing and installing them! One of our best benchtops guide includes how you can care for your benchtops to ensure that they stay in tip top condition for as long as possible.

Benchtops Basic Cleaning Guide

Use mild soaps, warm water and soft cloth to give your benchtop a wipe-over every now and then. However, you’ll want to avoid cleaning with boiling water, abrasive cleaners, harsh detergents, or even oil-based cleaners. 

While the effects of using these cleaning agents may vary depending on the surface material of your kitchen benchtops, harsh chemical detergents and abrasive sponges rarely bode well for any surfaces that you want to keep clean and bare.

Preventing Stains on your Benchtops

Aside from cleaning the surfaces when they get dirty, you’ll also want to refrain from dirtying your benchtop surfaces in the first place! Protect your benchtop surfaces by using coasters, placemats, cutting boards to minimise spillage or staining. 

If you do spill anything on your benchtop counters, clean them fast so that the spills won’t be absorbed by your benchtop counter material and leave a permanent stain.

Avoid Cutting Materials Directly on Surface of Benchtops

If you are using our range of Lugo Stone kitchen benchtops, while it is scratch resistant Capital Way Interiors does not recommend cutting any items directly on top of these surfaces. Not only will your knives wear down quickly, but the polished layer of your benchtop surface may mark and will also become dull over time. Continue using your chopping board with your benchtops!
