    Default How Do You Protect CaesarStone Benchtop

    Hi guys,
    I've been searching the forums but am unable to find an answer about how i can protect my benchtop.
    The reason is that whenever i give it a clean and wipe it down, it always dries and leaves streaks and an ugly film all over it.
    Am i cleaning it with the wrong product?
    Can you use sealer or type of wax to protect it?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Not sure what the answer is, but I have the same problem to an extent. About the only thing I can use is a product like Sellys Stone Benchtop Cleaner, which I have to use when the top is completely dry. Then after that dries up, I have to buff it off with another clean dry cloth. It's still not like it looks in the showroom, but it's better than using water as they suggested when it was installed! I don't know if it makes a difference that our top is the Night Sky colour (mostly black) as I would guess this shows up the streaks more.
    I'd be interested to find out if there was something better. And by the way, Metho doesn't get it looking any better either, contrary to some suggestions...........

    I guess i'm lucky that my benchtop is a white colour and that the streaks are visible when the lights are on or when you view it from an angle.
    I've also tried some benchtop cleaner that i got form bunnings but to no avail.

    My suggesting would be to ring up a stonemason, they should let you know what would be best to use on it.

    To remove streaks, use a damp cloth followed by buffing off with a bit of terry towelling. For really troublesome areas the girls in the resort used to use a bit of windex first, too.

    I suppose it wouldn't be appreciated if I suggested that you slap a sheet of Laminex on it??

    Maybe if I just covered the entire top in Glad Wrap and renewed it every morning. No cleaning and no streaking. Genius..............

    This works for us as well but I reckon I could still do with a few of those resort girls to help out though

    Hi,

    We use 2 products on our CaesarStone benchtops. The selleys can be bought at any decent supermarket, or purchase the cream cleanser that can be acquired by phoning (02) 9202 4698.
