“A Kitchen is a mirror of a home, and mirror must be clean”
A Kitchen handles so much more work than we think it is. Worktops of a kitchen tolerate and deal with many tasks performed by the cook. More the work, the greater the effect on the surface. They have to struggle with oil droplets, grease, knife cuts, stains, heat patches, and cracks. However, among all of the wear and tear, we often see worktops to be influenced by scratches.
The scratches make the surface look cheap, dull, and damaged. Indeed, some worktop materials don’t leave any output even on hitting by sharp-edged items. While many materials, sometimes the most durable ones can be scratched over time. The scratches further cause dirt, oil, and dust particles to sit in the cracks.
Different worktops can be repaired by various methods depending on the requirement of the material. Anyone can easily and simply remove scratches from kitchen worktops by using affordable cleaning agents.
Quartz worktops are the most durable and tough materials and have a rigidness closely similar to diamond and hard stones. Still, they can be scratched when fitted in most working areas. Before removing the scratches from the surface, make sure to prepare the worktop for the same.
Remove the essentials from the countertop and detach the electric cables from the extensions. It’ll be better if you directly turn off the mains from the domestic supply.
You can use liquid recovery agents, easily available in the drugstore. Just pour or spray the agent on the surface and Scratch with Sandpaper until you see your scratch gone. This is an effective and helpful method to remove scratches from your Quartz Worktop.
Powder recovery agents can be applied to the affected area and by slowly rubbing on the scratches, they’ll eventually be removed.
Take a little bit of clear mud and rub it on the surface like an eraser. Within 15 minutes, you’ll see the results.
Granite worktops are rarely seen scratched but when they do, it’s an easy task removing and repairing the worktop. Prepare the surface by cleaning with clean water and a cloth. Just repairing the countertop with suitable tools can save you the cost of replacement.
Dry out the surface and take a sanding pad, rub it on the surface for 10 minutes ensuring you’re not causing any damage to the material. Magic Pens are a wonderful way to recover the worktop. Apply the marker o the scratches and you will see an instant effect.
Light scratches can be recovered by soap water or by using any mild cleanser. Avoid any hard scratching on the granite to maintain the softness and grace of a surface. Regular cleaning doesn’t let scratches retain on the surface so make sure to give a daily dose of washing to your Kitchen Worktops.
Marble is a graceful and elegant natural stone seen in the installation of kitchen tiles and worktops. They are typically fitted as backsplash, floors, countertops, and washbasins. Whenever you find any misshapen to your countertops, start by taking the basic steps. Clean and wipe off the surface carefully.
For the cleaning process, common soap or detergent can be mixed in water to prepare the surface. You are not supposed to forget to wipe off the remaining soap residue or foam from the surface. Besides, this method can also be used to remove scratches that are mild and small.
Take a Sandpaper and attach it to a Power Sander, use with moderate pressure on the worktop. Another way is by using a Polishing Powder and recovery marker. These are proven ways to instantly resolve the issue.
