Dekton is an ultra-durable, high-performance material made from a blend of natural minerals and advanced technology. Known for its resistance to scratches, stains, and heat, Dekton provides a sophisticated, low-maintenance surface that will maintain its beauty and functionality for years.
Daily cleaning
For everyday cleaning, simply use a soft cloth or sponge with warm water and a mild, pH-neutral dish soap. Wipe the surface gently to remove dust, food, or light stains. After cleaning, rinse with warm water and dry with a soft, clean cloth to avoid water spots.
Dekton’s non-porous surface makes it resistant to stains, but it’s still important to avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that may scratch the finish. For greasy spots or tougher stains, a kitchen degreaser can be used without the risk of damaging the surface.
Preventive care
Dekton is incredibly durable, but taking a few simple steps can help preserve its flawless appearance:
Prevent impact on the edges. While Dekton is highly durable, the edges can be more vulnerable to impact. Avoid dropping heavy or hard objects directly onto the edges of your countertop, as this could cause chips or fractures. For areas like corners and edges, extra caution is advised to prevent accidental damage from sharp impacts.
Use trivets and cutting boards. Dekton is heat-resistant, but it’s still recommended to use trivets for hot pots and pans to avoid sudden thermal shock. Always use a cutting board to protect the surface from knife marks and cuts.
Clean spills promptly. While Dekton is highly resistant to staining, acidic substances like citrus juice, wine, or vinegar can affect the surface if left for long periods. Wipe up any spills as soon as they occur to maintain the surface.
Avoid harsh chemical cleaners. While Dekton can withstand many cleaning agents, it’s best to avoid bleach, ammonia, or highly acidic or alkaline products that could affect its finish.
Seal only if needed. Unlike natural stone countertops, Dekton is a non-porous material, so it doesn’t require sealing. However, if you notice any areas that are more prone to stains or marks, you may consider applying a protective sealant (though this is generally not necessary).
If damage occurs
Dekton’s strength makes it highly resistant to scratches and chips, but extreme impacts or heavy force can cause damage. In the event of any cracks, chips, or severe scratches, professional repair or restoration might be required. Minor marks can often be buffed out with appropriate care.
