Porcelain worktops are very popular, especially in modern and stylish kitchens. Another reason there is a spike in the demand for porcelain worktops is their low maintenance requirements. Though the maintenance requirements of the worktop materials are low, it is still essential to follow proper care tips for appropriate maintenance of the worktops. So, in this guide, we will further discuss the tips and tricks for the maintenance needed for porcelain worktops.
Given below are the tips to follow for proper care and maintenance of porcelain worktops
Daily Cleaning
It is true that porcelain does not require a heavy cleaning routine on a regular basis. A light but regular worktop cleaning will help with the necessary maintenance.
Removal of stubborn stains
If your porcelain worktop has coffee or wine-type stains, that may require extra effort.
Grease and oil stains
In this case, you should use the degreasing cleaner or some diluted dishwashing soap with warm water.
Coffee, tea or wine stains
A mixture of baking soda and water will help in this case. The mixture should be left on the surface for 10 minutes
Hard water marks
To deal with those hard water marks, one should use a mixture of water and white vinegar in a 50-50 ratio.
Bonus tip
It is advised to conduct a patch test for any new cleaner on a small or hidden area. The mixture should not be applied directly to the worktop.
Work on prevention of your porcelain worktops
Heat Prevention
Porcelain worktops are indeed good at preventing heat, but some changes in temperature can damage the material. Therefore, before putting anything on the surface, one should use heat-resistant mats and trivets under hot pots and pans.
Scratch Prevention
If one wishes to prevent scratches from the surface, it is advised to use cutting boards while chopping on a porcelain worktop.
Prevent Heavy Impact
Porcelain is a rough and tough worktop material, but sometimes, a drop of heavy objects can cause cracks and chips, further damaging the edges.
Some easy long-term maintenance tips
Sealing
Porcelain does not demand regular sealing like other natural stones, so maintaining these worktops is easy.
Polishing
Polishing or waxing is not needed. Only proper, regular cleaning of the worktop is required to maintain the material’s original finish.
Damage Check
Porcelain worktops should be checked for chips or any needed repairs. A porcelain repair kit is all one needs to fix any damage; however, for significant damage, asking for professional help would be the best choice.
