Heat-resistant
Ceramic is heat-resistant. However, we always recommend using trivets to protect the worktop from significant temperature changes.
Low
Requires no special maintenance apart from regular cleaning. A damp cloth is usually sufficient for day-to-day cleaning.
High
The hard surface withstands everyday use and is highly resistant to wear and scratches. Use a chopping board to protect your kitchen utensils.
High
The sealed surface is resistant to stains and everyday wear and tear, and is easy to keep clean.
For daily cleaning, it is usually sufficient to wipe the worktop with a wrung-out cloth and clean, warm water.
Limescale deposits, for example around a sink or a mixer tap, can be removed with ordinary vinegar. Afterwards, wipe the surface with clean water and a dry cloth.

Unlike granite, the surface of ceramic worktops is non-porous and contains no resin. Ceramic is therefore extremely easy to maintain and resistant to chemicals.
Ceramic is stain-resistant, which means that even the most stubborn stains, such as wine, coffee, marks and rust, can be easily removed.
For thorough cleaning, we recommend Q-Action, which removes stains from wine and oil, amongst other things. Q-Action also contains conditioning agents that protect the surface and enhance its shine.
Stone oil should not be used on ceramic worktops, as the surface is sealed and therefore does not absorb the oil, which may leave a greasy residue.
Proper care will help keep your worktop looking its best for many years to come. Explore our other guides, or read more about ceramic worktops.
