Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning

Daily cleaning is done with a damp cloth wrung out in clean, warm water. HORN recommends wiping with a dry cloth to avoid limescale deposits. 

Granite

Granite withstands most cleaning agents. A sponge or brush mixed with water and dishwashing detergent can be used to remove grease and etc. 

Marble

Marble is not acid resistant. Acidic products sush as descaling agents cannot be used without leaving damage on the surface. Futhermore, acidic foods and liquids must be removed immediately.

Soap shavings can be used to remove grease and stains. 

Stains

Fat from cooking can penetrate natural stone countertops and leave stains. Attempting to remove the grease stain with water may make the problem worse.

Strongly colored liquids and foods can discolour particularly light countertops.
 

Granite

To remove limescale deposits, use a 5% vinegar, diluted 1:1 with water. Granite tolerates most cleaning agents, but for thorough cleaning, Q-action is recommended (Removes stains from wine, oil etc. Contains caring components that protect and enhance the shine). Cleaning agents with strong acids/bases can permantely damage the plate. Q-action is a powerful soap made to clean, protect and restore the shine of stone countertops. 

Marble

Clean with a PH-neutral cleaning agent or special marble products.
