Q. How do I maintain my SS EZ Top countertop?
A. Let the SS EZ Top cure for 48 hours before light use. Do not use cleaners on the surface until the countertop is fully cured – approximately seven days. After that, we recommend normal dish soap.

• Do not use harsh chemicals when cleaning. For difficult stains, use a mild dish detergent in water. Use Mr. Clean® Magic Eraser® for dark scuff marks or marks from crayons.
• Do not put hot pots or pans directly onto the countertop; always use a trivet.
• Never cut directly on the countertop; always use a cutting board.
• Do not let spills sit on the surface; wipe clean regularly.
• Do not drop heavy items directly on the surface.
• The cool thing is that any serious damage can be repaired which is one reason to keep good notes.
