2,Dustproof and non-slip.
3,Easy to maintenance.
Here’s a helpful guide to maintaining a terrazzo countertop:
Tip #1: Avoid Harsh Cleaners and Sealers
In most cases, you are able to wipe down a countertop with a soft cloth. Some people decide to use special cleaners to help clean up messes. In this case, we highly suggest if you do use a cleaner, use a cleaner at a neutral pH level. In all situations, avoid products like:
Polish removers
Tile and drain cleaners and/or detergents
Paint removers
Abrasive cleaners
Other acidic products, such as products with vinegar or lemon juice contents
By using products with acidic content, you can damage the terrazzo countertop surface.
Tip #2: Clean any spills immediately
Accidents do happen. As a result, it is best to clean up a spill or potential stains right away. Spills alter the surface’s appearance.
Tip #3: Avoid rough fabrics or metal scourers to clean a terrazzo surface
When removing a stain or spill, it is best to use soft materials to clean the surface. By using a rough fabric, it is more likely that the surface will receive scratches.
Tip #4: Avoid Waxes
A certain shine can add a unique look to countertops. Sometimes people will add wax to a countertop’s surface, thinking the wax will give the surface a nice polish. Avoid using wax for a good reason: bacteria prevention. Bacteria can build up from wax residue, leaving more health risks in your kitchen or bathroom.
Tip #5: Clean countertops frequently
We recommend cleaning a terrazzo countertop daily to remove dust particles. Dust and other residues can act as abrasive and eventually cause small scratches on the surface. Take a soft cloth and give your countertops a quick clean. This will allow your countertops to prolong their appearance and longevity.
