Vendura® countertops are constructed using the finest materials by skilled craftspeople. Vendura® is both laboratory and time tested to meet or exceed all known industry standards.
The "Look that Lasts" may easily be maintained, under normal circumstances, with little effort by using a spray window cleaner or warm, soapy water.
Since Vendura® is nonporous; any stain on the surface will almost always disappear using the procedure indicated above. If a stain has dried, allow the spray or soapy water time to re-moisturize the area, after which the stain will wipe off. A bleach solution can also be used on Vendura® surfaces.
If the stain is not water or oil based material, it may have to be gently scraped off using a plastic material, such as a plastic knife. After scraping the stain proceed with the normal cleaning methods.
Periodically you may wish to go over the entire surface evenly with a mild abrasive cleanser such as Soft Scrub™, Bon Ami™ or Barkeeper's Friend™.
To keep your countertop looking its best and to minimize care efforts, use a cutting board rather than slicing directly on your countertop. Your Vendura® cutting board will provide an easily accessible cutting surface.
Vendura® is heat resistant. However, the sudden application of a very hot material to a cold surface may cause a repairable crack. Likewise, exposure to a high heat source in a small area such as a crock-pot or an electric griddle may also cause a repairable crack. Use of a trivet is strongly recommended in these instances. Candles should not be allowed to burn directly on Vendura® surfaces.
Vendura® is also chemical resistant to most substances, but exposure to harsh materials such as paint remover or oven cleaner should be avoided. In case one of these materials contacting the Vendura® surface it should be removed at once. If it is not, a professional repair or a replacement may be required.
Cuts and scratches may usually be removed easily by using a more aggressive cleansing powder such as Comet, a moistened SOS™ pad or a white Scotch-Brite™ pad. The entire surface must be gone over using the same procedure to maintain a uniform appearance. For a temporary gloss look, if you desire, a good quality furniture polish such as Pledge™ or an automotive polish (non-cleaner type) may be used.
Vendura's® goal is to provide you with long term use and enjoyment of all Vendura® surfaces.
