Care and Maintenance

What should I do for daily cleaning?

The only maintenance required is regular washing with clean, hot soapy water to remove surface dirt.  If necessary, use a gentle abrasive cleaner such as Jiff or Bar Keepers Friend.  Corian sinks will benefit from periodical overnight soaking in a mixture of water and a little bleach.

Will food or drink stain Corian?

Corian is non-porous and highly resistant to stains.  Although most normal kitchen type substances such as red wine, oils and vinegar will not permanently stain Corian, it is best to wipe up spills as they occur.

Can hot pans from the cooker be placed on Corian ?

Corian can be damaged with excessive heat.  Always use a heat protection pad, hob bars or a Corian trivet (with rubber feet) for hot cookware.  Never put hot pans directly on a Corian top or in a Corian sink.

Can I use Corian as a cutting surface?

As with any high quality work surface, care should be taken.  We recommend the use of a chopping board to prevent scratches.


The beauty of Corian is that even after many years of use, your Corian worktop will still look good.  Most damage can be repaired and the original surface restored.  It provides a long term, renewable and easy-to-work-on sympathetic surface.
