Your countertop has been sealed with a Dry-Treat world leading permanent impregnating sealer, for premium stain protection.
With correct care, your countertop will look beautiful for many, many years:
Impregnating sealers work by repelling liquids rather than blocking the pores of the stone / concrete. The reason is so that air can still move through the pores allowing the material to ‘breathe’ naturally. It is the best technology available to protect against staining while preserving the look and natural integrity of your surface.
Because the pores of your stone / concrete countertop remain open, the surface is not immune from staining, but the sealer will give you plenty of time to clean up liquids before they absorb into the pores and stain. Using coasters for drinks is also recommended.
Hanafinn Rejuvenata™ is a pH neutral cleaner specially designed for natural stone countertops. Rejuvenata™ is food safe, provides a mild, natural citrus scent, and contains a tiny amount of invisible sealer to increase protection. If you do not have a specialist cleaning product, warm water and a small amount of dishwashing detergent can be used.
Oxy-Klenza™ is a safe, powerful, oxygen based, odorless, environmentally responsible alkaline cleaner.
Acidic cleaners should never be used.
It is important to find out if your countertop is made from an acid sensitive material. If so, it is important to wipe up spills from acidic substances (including citrus juice, vinegar, cola and wine) immediately, before acid etching occurs.
