Unique Work Surfaces - LG Hi-Macs®

Care & Maintenance

If you have searched long and hard for a superior quality, durable and tough material, we would like to congratulate you for choosing LG HI-MACS® Natural Acrylic Stone™: the material is hard-wearing and extremely repellent to stains and is therefore very easy to look after. We would like to give you a few simple tips and hints for caring for your product so that you can enjoy its exceptional quality for many years to come.

General day-to-day stains

LG HI-MACS® is a completely homogenous material.
As it does not have any pores, you can simply and easily clean it with a damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent. You can also use a domestic scouring agent on all matt finishes. It is also useful to wipe your surface occasionally with a scouring agent or wet sponge to retain the even finish of your product.

Tougher stains

Tougher stains, caused by food colouring, tea or fruit juice can easily be removed using a bleaching agent (do not leave in contact with the work surface for more than five minutes). Clean the surface with a domestic all-purpose cleaner and rinse with clean water. You can also use a scouring agent on matt finishes. Nail varnish can easily be removed with nail varnish remover (acetone-free) or a scouring agent.

Acidic cleaning agents.

A number of cleaning agents contain acids, such as methyl chloride or acetone. You should avoid using these on a LG HI-MACS® surface. Should one of these products accidentally come into contact with the material, as a precautionary measure you should rinse the surface with soapy water to prevent any discolouring taking place.

Hot objects

Hot saucepans or pots straight out of the oven or from the hob should not be laid directly on the LG HI-MACS® surface. Place a mat or board underneath to prevent any damage to your product.

Burn marks

Small burn marks or marks caused by nicotine can simply be removed using a scouring agent or an abrasive sponge. Should this give the high-gloss finish a matt appearance, rubbing the surface with fine-grained sandpaper will quickly return it to its high-gloss state.

Sharp objects

LG HI-MACS® copes effortlessly with the wear and tear of everyday life, however pointed or sharp-edged objects can leave cuts or scratches on the LG HI-MACS surface. You can repair smaller cuts and scratches without too much trouble but we recommend the services of a professional for especially deep cuts.
