The ever-lasting finish requires only simple and routine care to maintain its good looks. To clean Concetto, we recommend using warm water, mild detergent and a white cloth.

Stubborn Stains or Dried Spills

Any mild cleaner or detergent can be used on stubborn stains. To remove adhered materials like food, gum and nail polish, first scrape away the excess with a plastic putty knife. Then wipe away with denatured alcohol to remove stubborn marks, however the surface should be rinsed with water immediately after their use.


Heat Resistance

Concetto can tolerate moderately hot temperatures for brief periods of time. Direct contact between very hot pots and the Concetto surface should be avoided. We recommend using an insulator / hot pad / trivet especially when using cooking units like electric fry pans, woks and kettles.

Tough - Yes, Indestructible – No

Avoid any highly caustic cleaning agents like oven and grill cleaners and dishwashing agents that have high alkaline/pH levels. Products containing oils or powders may leave a residue and should be rinsed off thoroughly. Should your surface accidentally be exposed to any of these damaging products, rinse immediately with water to neutralize the effect.

Scratch Resistance

Concetto is highly scratch resistant. However, avoid using sharp objects directly onto the surface.
