Steel
An elegant, modern material with considerable high-tech visual impact, which is also very strong and tough. However, in daily use the surface may scratch, so items should not be dragged across the worktop and metal scouring pads should not be used. To keep it in good condition over time, a neutral cleaner should be used, rubbing with a synthetic sponge with the grain of the satin finish and then drying with a soft cloth ... for the toughest stains, white wine vinegar or methylated spirits can be used, rinsing with plenty of water. Take care not to leave iron or steel items standing on the worktop for too long, as they may cause oxidation or rust stains!
Granite and Marble
Stone worktops have a unique beauty and shine. To keep them looking good over time: avoid knocks from heavy objects which could chip the surface and edges; do not leave cleaning products, liquid food and drink spills and above all products containing citric acid on the surface - remove while the spill is fresh; remove excess water and look out for seepage; renew the water-repellent treatment regularly; use neutral or specific cleaners.
