 HI-MACS is non-porous so it can be wiped clean with a damp
cloth or sponge and mild detergents or general purpose cleaners such as Mr.Clean¢ç. If you have matte finish,abrasive cleaners
like Ajax¢ç or Comet¢ç may also be used, Periodically it may also be helpful to go over the entire surface in a circular motion with
an abrasive cleaner or wet Scotch Brite¢ç pad to maintain a uniform appearance.
Do not place hot pans directly from the burner or oven on the HI
-MACS surface. Even thought HI-MACS can withstand sustained temperatures up to 225¡ÆF, prolonged or extreme heat could
cause yellowing. A trivet should always be used under hearted appliances, such as crock pots, electric frying pans,etc. Although
minor cuts and scratches in HI-MACS can be repaired, deep cuts will require the services
of a professional. Strong acids such as those found in drain cleaners, toilet bowl and oven
cleansers should be used cautiously around HI-MACS. If these items are accidentally
spilled, wipe them up at once. Some of these items, when left on the surface, may cause whitening, which can be difficult to remove.
While most everyday spills can be removed with the cleaning techniques listed, some
troublesome spills and stains such as food dye, tea and fruit drinks may require more
aggressive cleaning. These items can be removed with full strength bleach followed by a
general cleanser. then. Note: Bleach should only come in contact with the surface for two
to five minutes. On a matte finish, if you prefer, you can scrub with an abrasive cleaner.
Even nail polish can be removed from HI-MACS with nail polish remover or abrasive cleanser.
While HI-MACS will not burn, should a lighted cigarette accidentally come in contact with
the surface it could leave a nicotine stain or scorch mark. Either of these can be removed
by cleaning with an abrasive cleanser or buffing in a circular motion with a Scotch Brite pad.
