It is ideal for cleaning splashes and everyday debris without damaging the material.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stubborn stains? Dampen with hot water degreasing soap, leave for a few minutes and remove with a soft cloth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid abrasive scouring pads or blades<\/strong>, especially if you have polished finishes.<\/li>\n<li>Use <strong>microfibre cloths<\/strong> to care for the finish and maintain the natural shine or texture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>2. Special care in summer: heat, barbecues and direct sunshine<\/h2>\n<p>During the summer, worktops can be exposed to higher temperatures, especially in open or outdoor kitchens. To ensure their durability:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Use trivets or thermal bases<\/strong> if you place hot containers directly on the surface.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid direct contact with barbecues, electric grills or other sources of extreme heat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do not cut directly <\/strong>on the worktop.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid leaving aggressive cleaning products for long periods: if you use bleach,<strong> rinse with plenty of water<\/strong> and do not leave it on for more than 1 hour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-62753 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ascale.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Guatavita-Cocina-Modula-Line-Meson-e-isla-Gramarston-Pure-Black-06-1.webp\" alt=\"encimera cosmopolita gray\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ascale.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Guatavita-Cocina-Modula-Line-Meson-e-isla-Gramarston-Pure-Black-06-1.webp 1920w, https:\/\/www.ascale.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Guatavita-Cocina-Modula-Line-Meson-e-isla-Gramarston-Pure-Black-06-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.ascale.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Guatavita-Cocina-Modula-Line-Meson-e-isla-Gramarston-Pure-Black-06-1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.ascale.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Guatavita-Cocina-Modula-Line-Meson-e-isla-Gramarston-Pure-Black-06-1-1536x1024.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>3. Post-barbecue or post-event clean-up<\/h2>\n<p>If you have organised a cookout or barbecue, it is normal for the surface to be dirtier than usual. In such cases:<\/p>\n<p>You can use <strong>specific cleaners<\/strong> such as degreasers or mild descalers (avoiding contact with metals).<\/p>\n<p>Is the finish polished? Remember that this requires a little more pampering:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Avoid products with a pH higher than 11.<\/li>\n<li>Use only soft sponges, avoid any abrasives and granulated cleaners.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At Ascale we provide you with <strong>downloadable cleaning and maintenance manuals<\/strong>, as well as technical data sheets and guides for installation, cutting and more.
