How To Take Care Of A Concrete Countertop

When you consider ways to care for your countertops, the first thought that pops into your head is sponges and pads. Although they are important for a variety of reasons, they can damage the concrete countertop. Concrete is porous. This means it is more absorbent rate than marble, granite or other countertop materials made from stone. Sponges make mark on countertops. They while doing this, will also absorb all chemical or acidic substances that may be present on your countertop. They can range between lemon juice and vinegar and even soft or hard water.

Since a kitchen countertop constructed from concrete has a higher degree of permeability than other countertops and consequently more prone to staining. If you spill something on the countertop, ensure that you clean it off quickly. Make use of a sponge to scrub off any spills left behind. Clean up spills in the quickest time possible as they will get worse if they are kept for a long period of time.

Countertops in kitchens made from concrete are usually installed on their own. If the countertop is placed on concrete slabs, it is crucial to drill holes into the slabs to let drainage. This is particularly important when it comes to countertops made from concrete that are not done. If left alone, the concrete countertop could be susceptible to warping and even splitting the sides. If you’ve already constructed a countertop, be sure to put a plastic sheet on top to stop the concrete from getting wet.

The first thing you should avoid when deciding on the best method of take care of countertops is to remove it from the countertop. Concrete can be porous. While many believe that it’s a good fact, it’s not the case. Concrete is porous and it allows in plenty of moisture. Furthermore when you scrub a countertop constructed from concrete too much, it can damage the finish or the cement sealant present on the countertops. It is recommended that you give the concrete countertops a gentle sanding prior to applying an adhesive.

Do not place boiling liquid right on the counter. It is not recommended to make use of a hot pot or pan to cook in. The hot liquids could cause splinteringor burning. If you must use the hot pan that is on your counter make use of a microwave, rather than cooking over the stove.

Another suggestion for cleaning countertops is to make sure that they aren’t acidic. Most countertop surfaces can be washed using an acidic cleanser. But an acidic cleaner can cause significant damage over the course of time. Therefore, it is recommended to select a mild cleaning product to help keep the counter clean for a prolonged period of time.
