HanStone™ Care and Maintenance
 How do I care for HanStone?
Simply clean up any spills with soap and water. For routine cleaning, use a small amount of cleaner that is non-bleach and nonabrasive along with warm water and a damp cloth. Repeat as needed to keep the lustrous gloss and radiant sheen. Although HanStone is resistant to stains, any type of spill should be cleaned as soon as possible. Any liquid spills, fruits, vegetables, or other foods should be wiped up and cleaned with soap and water. Please refer to the HanStone Care & Maintenance Guide.
Is HanStone scratch resistant?
Because HanStone contains approximately 93% quartz, the hardest components of natural granite, the surface is highly scratch and impact resistant. However, as with any surface, sudden impact, excessive force/pressure, or misuse can damage the stone surface.
Do I need to finish or seal HanStone?
No. Unlike natural stone products, HanStone is a non-porous surface you will NEVER have to apply a sealer to our surface.
Can you cut directly on the surface of HanStone?
It is a matter of choice. While HanStone is made of more than 93% natural quartz crystals that are up to six times harder than granite, it is always recommended to use a cutting board to prevent any dulling of the surface that can occur over a long term of surface cutting.
When preparing meals, can raw foods such as vegetables, acidic fruits and meats be placed directly on the surface?
Yes. HanStone is a non-porous surface. This means germs and bacteria can not accumulate with regular cleaning. HanStone is an approved surface for commercial food preparation areas in restaurants.
Can hot plates and pans be placed directly on HanStone?
While HanStone can withstand heat, it is still advised to use hot pads or trivets when using cooking units such as electric frying pans, crock-pots, roaster ovens or in place of hot pans directly onto the surface to avoid potentially damaging temperatures. Prolonged exposure to heat will damage HanStone, and such damage is not covered by warranty.
Is HanStone color consistent?
HanStone is made from pure, natural quartz. Variation in quartz, color, shape, shade, pattern and size are unique traits of HanStone. Although some HanStone colors may be more consistent than granite, color variance is an inherent trait expected of HanStone. In addition, small blotches or random distribution of particulates are an inherent part of overall design and composition and are not considered to be defects or product non-conformity. The 10-Year Limited Warranty does not cover color variance, and HanStone application will not be replaced for these unique, inherent traits of HanStone.
