What are the Cons of Viatera?
- Touted for its durability, Viatera endures most stress. However, dropping heavy objects on your countertop may cause chipping.
- Its heat resistance means it can withstand brief exposure to high heat, but we recommend using pot holders or trivets.
- Its surface will become scratched, so please do not cut foods directly on your countertops. We recommend using a cutting board.
- Harsh chemicals, such as acetone, can cause staining or etching. Please avoid spilling these chemicals on your countertops. Wipe up all liquid spills immediately.
How to Care and Maintain Viatera
- Avoid harsh and abrasive cleaners. Do not use bleach on your Viatera counters. We recommend green, gentle cleaners like Mrs. Meyers or Simple Green for stains.
- Use a plastic putty knife if your countertops have a sticky residue like gum or candle wax. Please do not use metal scrapers, as this will mar the surface.
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth daily.
- Always use cutting boards when chopping foods to avoid scratching and chipping your countertops, and invest in a set of pot holders to prevent heat damage.
