Caesarstone have recently introduced Caesarstone Mineral – a new evolution in benchtops with Crystalline Silica Free (CSF) and low silica formulations. Caesarstone Mineral is made from either feldspar and recycled glass (low silica) or over 80% recycled glass (CSF). Both are hardwearing materials, developed using cutting edge technology that adheres to the high-quality standards that Caesarstone is renowned for.

Every Day Cleaning
For routine cleaning, we recommend wiping the surface with clean warm soapy water (a mild detergent) and a clean damp cloth. Cleaning products such as Ajax stone safe Spray’n’Wipe may also be used. Ensure that any residue left behind from the cleaning product is removed with a clean damp cloth to prevent a build up before drying off with a clean towel or microfibre cloth.
Staining agents like tea, coffee and red wine are easily removed with a diluted bleach as found in mould removers like Exit Mould.
Deep Cleaning
To give your Caesarstone surface a thorough deep clean then we recommend Caesarstone Cream Cleanser and a 3M™ Scotchbrite™ All-Purpose Cleaning Pad which can be used without damaging the stone. Please download the Caesarstone Care and Maintenance Guide for full instructions.
Polishing
As Caesarstone is virtually non-porous, it should never be polished or sealed – it will keep its lustrous gloss and ultra-smooth surface without polishing or sealing. Granite and Marble sealers applied to a Caesarstone surface will compromise the performance of the surface.
Special Considerations for Fresh and Raw Concrete
Fresh Concrete and Raw Concrete feature random pigments which may not be evident in a smaller sample. Viewing a large sample is recommended prior to choosing either of these colours.
Special Considerations for Rough Finish
There are no special cleaning requirements for Rough Finish designs, as per our Care and Maintenance Guide. However, please note that exposed edge surfaces on 20mm tops, bowl cut outs and reverse of the slabs will not have the rough textured finish.
Tough? Yes. Indestructible? No.
As with any surface, Caesarstone can be permanently damaged by exposure to strong chemicals or rapid temperature changes. Do not use products that contain trichlorethane or methylene chloride, such as paint removers or stripper. Avoid any highly aggressive cleaning agents like oven cleaner that have high alkaline/pH levels. To avoid damage from heat, we always recommend placing hot items on a chopping board or heat trivet.
Caesarstone Cream Cleanser
Caesarstone Cream Cleanser has been specially formulated to remove the most stubborn stains such as red wine or beetroot while taking care of your Caesarstone surfaces. It is also suitable for cleaning sinks and taps, baths and basins, shower recesses, tile surfaces and cook tops. Refer to cleaning instructions on the Cream Cleanser bottle.
