So always keep these maintenance tips in mind:
- Choose the right type of stone according to the application. In kitchens or bathrooms, it is important to choose a material with the right stain resistance and surface finish.
- Use a damp cloth and rub gently with an appropriate product.
- In addition to regular cleaning, natural stone and composites also require protection and nourishing. With a 3-in-1 maintenance product, such as Lithofin Easy Clean, you are safe.
- Daily maintenance with Lithofin KF HyClean keeps your ceramic worktop in top condition.
- Stubborn dirt? Never sand with abrasive materials.
