Best way to clean and maintain epoxy resin

Simple cleaning for a spotless finish

For daily maintenance, use a soft microfibre cloth or sponge with a mild detergent. Simply dampen the cloth and wipe gently to remove food residues, smudges, or spills. Avoid using rough scouring pads or abrasive powders, as these can dull or scratch the glossy resin surface. A gentle approach will help preserve both the shine and integrity of your countertop.

• Wipe up spills quickly to prevent staining
• Use warm (not hot) water with gentle soap
• Dry with a clean cloth to maintain clarity

What to avoid to preserve your resin

Your epoxy countertop is tough, but it’s important to steer clear of potent cleaning chemicals such as bleach, ammonia, or acidic cleaners, which can damage the resin over time. Refrain from using steel wool, wire brushes or any cleaning device with a rough surface. Additionally, keep hot pans or baking trays off the countertop to prevent heat marks or discolouration; always use a trivet or heat-resistant mat.

When this matters most

Proper care is key after the initial curing period and especially if your kitchen countertop is subject to frequent cooking, spills, or food preparation. Routine, gentle cleaning is vital for busy households, as is using cutting boards and mats to minimise the risk of scratching or heat exposure.
