Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for and maintain my Better Stone surface?
Better Stone surfaces are low-maintenance and easy to clean. For everyday cleaning, use a mild detergent or pH-balanced surface cleaner with warm water and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or highly acidic/alkaline cleaners, as these can damage the finish. Regular care helps maintain the surface's appearance and extends its lifespan.
How can I prevent damage to my Better Stone benchtop?
To keep your Better Stone benchtop in top condition, avoid placing hot pots or pans directly on the surface—always use heat-resistant mats or trivets. Do not cut directly on the benchtop; use a chopping board to prevent scratches. Also, refrain from dropping heavy objects on the surface, especially near edges or sink cut-outs, to avoid chipping or cracking.
Do Better Stone benchtops need to be sealed?
No, Better Stone surfaces do not require sealing. Unlike natural stone, Better Stone is non-porous, which means it resists staining and doesn’t absorb liquids. This makes ongoing maintenance simple and eliminates the need for periodic sealing treatments common with other materials.
