What you should know about Corian Counter Tops
Corian, the original solid surface material, requires minimal care to maintain its original beauty. Corian, with proper care, will remain as beautiful as the day it was installed. Follow these simple guidelines to keep Corian looking like new. On matte/satin finish, wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove watermarks. For stains, simply wipe with soapy water or ammonia-based cleaners. You can use an abrasive cleaner with green Scotch-Brite pad to remove stubborn stains. To maintain a like-new appearance, rub occasionally with pad alone. To disinfect occasionally wipe surface with diluted household bleach (1 part water/1 part bleach).

Corian withstands heat better than ordinary surfacing materials. However, hot pans directly from the cooktop or oven, as well as some heat-generating appliances, like frying pans or crock-pots, can damage the surface. Always use a hot pad or trivet equipped with rubber feet to protect the Corian surface from hot pans and electrical appliances.

Although Corian is resistant to permanent damage, avoid exposure to strong chemicals. If strong cleaners such as paint removers, paintbrush cleaners, metal cleaners, oven cleaners, cleaners containing methylene chloride, acetone (nail polish remover) and acid drain cleaners come in contact, then quickly flush surface with plenty of soapy water. Nail polish should be removed with an anon-acetone-based nail polish remover, such as Cutex, and then flushed with water. Corian is also highly impact-resistant, but heavy or pointed objects striking the surface can leave damage. Avoid cutting directly on Corian countertops and run cold water when pouring boiling water into sinks

The beauty of Corian is that scratches and cuts can be sanded away with 180- or 220- grit fine sandpaper until the cut is gone. To restore the finish, use an abrasive cleaner and a green Scotch-Brite pad.
