maia®…designed for living designed for life!

maia® has been developed to be used in the domestic environment – particularly the kitchen. Although no ‘special’ maintenance is needed we recommend the following is adhered to, as prevention is always better than cure.
Routine cleaning
maia® does not require any specialist cleaning regimes – most dirt and light residue will easily wipe away with a damp cloth and soapy water.
The worksurface should then be rinsed with clean water and wiped dry.
Persistent marks can be removed by using a mild abrasive cleaner, but harsh scouring powders should be avoided. If in doubt, consult our care and maintenance guide.
Minor scratching
Kitchen utensils and crockery (particularly the unglazed bases) can sometimes cause scratches that will be particularly evident on darker colours.
The surface can be damaged by scratching or cutting with knives, so the use of a cutting board is essential.
Don’t worry though, any minor scratches can easily be removed using a red abrasive pad and other items from the Care Kit.
Please refer to the care and maintenance guide.
Heat
maia® surfaces will withstand heat better than many alternative surface materials.
However, all hot pots, pans and other heat-generating devices should always be placed upon a trivet or worktop protector rods, to prevent extreme heat having prolonged and direct contact with the surface.
Boiling water and cooking splashes do not harm the surface.
maia® Care Kit
