Features of Fimma Stone
Fimma Stone countertops are fairly easy to clean, as food scraps and deposited waste cannot penetrate the material, so it guarantees good hygiene. For most cases, only a damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning.Stains created by food and substances generally used in kitchens (e.g. lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, wine and coffee) are easy to remove.
Even highly aggressive cleaning agents, such as oven cleaners do not affect the surface of Fimma Stone. Another advantage of its production process is that Fimma Stone is heat resistant. Hot pots or pans do not discolor nor damage the surface.
Special consideration with the ceramic knives: Ceramic knives may scratch Fimma Stone’s surface in every finish, the same way they scratch other surfaces of the same product category and other categories.
Everyday cleaning
Use a microfiber cloth to remove dust from the surface. Clean your Fimma Stone countertop daily if necessary.
Fimma Stone countertops can be washed with warm water, to which a detergent can be added, used in the dose recommended by the manufacturer. (Avoid products containing hydrofluoric acid and its derivatives). Rinse with warm water and dry with a cloth or similar.If liquids are spilled, it must be dried immediately. The faster you clean and dry spills, the easier it is to remove stains.
It is not advisable to use waxes, oily soaps, impregnating agents or other treatments (hydro-oil repellent) on the product, because its application is not necessary at all.
Some of the detergents currently on the market contain waxes or polishing additives that, after several washes, can leave an oily film on the surface of Fimma Stone.
Do not hit your Fimma Stone countertop with a blunt and heavy objects. It could chip or even break (the edges are the most sensitive to physical damage).
