| normal cleaning |
| lexton 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. if you have matte
finish, abrasive cleaners like ajax or comet 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 pad to maintain a uniform
appearance. |

do not place hot pans directly
from the burner or oven on the lexton surface. even
though lexton can withstand sustained temperatures
up to 225 ＜f, 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 lexton 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 lexton. 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

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 lexton with nail polish
remover or abrasive cleanser.

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

| preventing damage |
|
in
most cases, lexton can be repaired with ease if accidentally
damaged. however, be sure to follow the guidelines
here to prevent any permanent damage to lexton.
1) heat damage
even though lexton has an excellent heat resistant
property compared with other ordinary countertops,
placing hot pans as well as some heat-generating appliances
such as frying pans or crockpots can damage a lexton
surface. always use a hot pad or a trivet with rubber
feet to protect lexton. avoid using lexton for a long
time over 80 ＜c(170＜f)
2) other damage
- avoid exposing lexton to strong chemicals such as
paint removers, oven cleaners, etc. surfaces exposed
to these chemicals should be promptly flushed with
water. contact over a long period of time will cause
spots and require extensive sanding to remove.
- do not cut directly on a lexton surface.
- use a cutting board.
- run cold water when pouring boiling water into sinks.
- remove nail polish with a non-acetone-based nail
polish remover and flush with water.
