One of the biggest advantages of a Corian solid surface kitchen top is how easy it is to maintain compared to natural stone. Here’s how to keep yours looking brand new for years to come.
Daily Cleaning
Simply wipe your solid surface countertop with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Because Corian is non-porous, it won’t absorb spills or stains the way granite can.
Removing Stubborn Stains
For tougher stains, a mild household cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water works well on matte finishes. Avoid abrasive scouring pads on glossy finishes.
Fixing Scratches
Unlike quartz or granite, minor scratches on a Corian surface can be sanded out, restoring the original finish — a repair only possible with genuine solid surface material.
Heat Precautions
While durable, it’s best to use trivets for hot pots and pans to avoid discoloration over time.
When to Call a Professional
For deeper scratches, burns, or seam repairs, it’s best to contact your original solid surface contractor in Malaysia rather than attempting DIY sanding, which can damage the finish if done incorrectly.

How Solid Surface Material Compares to Other Countertop Materials for Maintenance
Unlike granite, which needs periodic resealing, or quartz, which can chip permanently, solid surface material offers unmatched ease of care. Because it’s completely non-porous, daily maintenance takes just a damp cloth — no sealants, no special cleaners, no guesswork. This is one of the biggest reasons Malaysian homeowners are switching to solid surface kitchen tops over traditional materials.
