For normal cleaning, use a mild soap, water, and non-abrasive cloth. Dry with a non-abrasive cloth. For the first two weeks after installation, clean daily using above method.

Preventing Heat Damage

Corian and Meganite are excellent materials for heat resistance. As with all countertop materials, it is important to use common sense to minimize direct heat exposure to protect your surface and investment. Use heat trivets or hot pads when placing hot objects on any surface and allow cookware to cool before placing them into a Corian or Meganite sink.

Preventing Other Damage

In most cases Corian and Meganite can be repaired if accidentally damaged. However, be sure to follow the guidelines here to prevent any permanent damage to Corian or Meganite.

  • Avoid exposing Corian or Meganite to strong chemicals, such as paint removers, oven cleaners, etc. If contact occurs, quickly flush the surface with water.
  • Do not cut directly on Corian or Meganite countertops.
  • Boiling water alone will not damage your Corian or Meganite sink, however it’s a good practice to run your faucet while pouring boiling water into your sink.

Removing Minor Cuts and Scratches

Because the solid beauty of Corian and Meganite goes all the way through, Corian and Meganite surfaces are completely renewable. You can remove minor cuts and scratches yourself by following these instructions.

  • Judge the severity of the scratch and start with the finest grit (Scotch Brite) sanding pad to remove the scratch. (The color of the pads from smoothest to roughest are: White, Yellow, Green, Peach, Lilac, Blue, Gray.) Rub over scratch in a straight line to remove it. Periodically switch rubbing direction 90°. Be sure all of the scratch is removed. If this first step takes too long, try the next heavier grit sanding pad. To minimize dust during sanding, wet the surface. Rinse pad periodically to clean residue.
  • Clean top with water. Select next lighter grit and repeat process. Rub over a larger area to blend in sanding.
  • Continue process using successively finer grits until desired gloss level is achieved. Rinse out all pads used and air dry before putting them away.
