Corian® is a non-porous so dirt, grease and bacteria can be wiped away with detergent and hot water, and the surface disinfected with a solution of one part water and one part bleach.
Routine Cleaning
The more you clean Corian® the nicer its smooth satin sheen becomes. Regular cleaning with an abrasive powder cleaner, such as Ajax or Barkeepers friend will enhance its looks and build up lustre.
Any small scratches and impact marks which occur in normal use will smooth out with Scotchbrite and an abrasive cleaner.
The gloss level of the Scotchbrite area may then need to be adjusted by blending with Ajax or barkeepers friend, until a uniform surface sheen is restored.
Watermarks
Hard Water may sometimes leave visible watermark deposits on the Corian® surface.
Barkeepers friend, or a proprietary watermark remover should be applied following the manufactures instructions, and then left for a few minutes. Use a Scotchbrite pad to scrub the entire surface, then rinse with fresh water and buff dry. As in routine cleaning adjust gloss level as necessary.
Sink and Bowls
Follow the routine cleaning procedure above. Occasionally fill the sink with a water bleach solution, leave for 15 minutes then scrub the sink as the solution drains.
