Terrazzo worktops are a great choice for any property interior and are just perfect for the kitchen. A Terrazzo kitchen worktop will provide an excellent combination of elegance, timeless beauty and high durability.

However, to keep their appeal and durability in place over time, it is necessary to keep these worktops clean and well-maintained. To conduct proper cleaning and maintenance, it is essential to have the right information about the subject.

Listed below are some instant and easy tips to clean and maintain terrazzo kitchen worktops

● Follow a daily cleaning routine

You should use a microfiber cloth or a soft sponge for wiping in the daily cleaning routine.

● PH Neutral Cleaner

While using any sort of cleaning agent to clean terrazzo worktops, you should always avoid using harsh, acidic or alkaline cleaners. It would be best if you instead used the PH-neutral cleaners, which should also be mixed with water.

● Prevent against water spots

Once you are done with your cleaning process, you should wipe off the surface with a dry and soft cloth.

● Attend the stains

It is not at all safe to leave stains on terrazzo worktops unattended; treating those stones quickly is essential to avoid any permanent marks. To clean stains of oil or grease, one should use a paper towel and a pH-neutral solution with warm water. To clean any acidic stains, the surface area should be wiped off quickly with a damp cloth. In order to clean tea or coffee stains, one should wipe them off gently with a mild detergent or neutral soap.

To avoid any scratches on the surface, one should always use a chopping board while cooking any meal.

● Trivets under hot pans

It is essential to always keep trivets or mats under hot pans and pots placed on the surface of the worktops. The worktop surface coming in direct contact with high heat may develop cracks or discolouration.

● Conduct Regular Inspections

Even after working as per the instructions discussed above, it is essential to check the condition of your worktop regularly. If any stains, cracks or chips develop, please address these immediately to avoid any potential issues.
