FAQ – Facts about Avonite Countertops & Avonite Surfaces:

Avonite Surfaces™ is a pioneer in the solid surfacing industry. Avonite surfaces are always recyclable, and they come in varying sizes, dynamic colors, and realistic textures. Avonite partial and full sheets come from rich collections inspired by glass, precious metals, and other natural materials.

Solid surface seams are inconspicuous, hygienic, and nonporous, and overstock Avonite sheets will not support the growth of bacteria or mold. Avonite materials allow for design flexibility, and the surfaces are heat- and scratch-resistant and easy to clean and maintain. They are designed to provide durable service and lasting beauty in your kitchen, bathroom, and beyond. Please contact Capitol Granite for more information on Avonite Solid Surface Countertops.

Care and Maintenance of Avonite Countertops:

Matte Finish:

• Cleaning:
• A sponge, soap and water will clean most stains. For more stubborn stains use a green Scotch Brite pad and an abrasive cleanser. Periodically go over the entire matte surface with a dry green Scotch Brite pad to return the original finish.
• Scratches:
• To remove scratches, start sanding with 240 grit paper and then clean with an abrasive cleanser and a green Scotch Brite pad.

Avonite Sinks:

• Use the Matte Finish cleaning and scratch removal procedures above. To keep sink color bright, clean occasionally with liquid bleach and water. Fill the sink 1/4 full with water, add 1 to 2 cups of bleach, wipe the sides of the sink and let stand for 15 minutes. Then drain the sink and rinse.

Satin Finish:

• Cleaning:
• Soap and water will clean most stains. For stubborn stains use a white Scotch Brite pad and a non-abrasive cleanser, such as Soft Scrub.
• Scratches:
• To remove scratches, start by sanding with 400 grit paper followed by 600 grit paper. Then clean the area with Soft Scrub and a white Scotch Brite pad. You may choose to spray a light coat of Protect All to enhance the luster.

High Gloss:

• Cleaning:
• Soap and water will remove most stains. Use a polishing compound like 3M Perfect-It and a soft cloth to remove more stubborn stains.
• Scratches:
• To remove scratches from a high gloss finish Avonite countertop, start sanding with 400 grit paper. The surface must then be machine polished back to its original finish. Advise customer to contact Capitol Granite if they do not own or have access to this equipment.
