The Proper Care for Your Counter Top Choices
Glass
We create glass countertops, table tops, and bar tops. We use high quality Starphire glass for all of our glass creations. There are several ways for you to care for your glass Downing Design.
As far as cleaning is concerned, the two main concerns people have when cleaning glass are scratching and streaking. Although we use quality glass that can withstand countertop activities, it is never a poor idea to use caution. Always use a microfiber or soft cloth to clean glass surfaces. This will gently clean the surface without endangering it.
To avoid streaking, simply use distilled water when cleaning. Glass shows everything, and sometimes that includes the minerals and other streaking properties of your water. Using distilled water is highly recommended for cleaning glass, and is great for gentle cleaning Just add to your regular glass cleaner to dilute it and make cleaning easy.
Our glass is strong and meant to be used for your countertop or sink. If you begin to see any scratches or nicks, make sure you contact us directly so we can advise you of the proper course of action.
Concrete
Concrete is best maintained when it is cleaned regularly. Most experts recommend that you use basic dish soap and water for stain removal. However, concrete specialized products that are PH balanced are recommended for daily use.
Concrete is incredibly durable. You should have no issues with cracking or chipping, especially when you order from Downing Designs. You can use a wax occasionally to ensure that the concrete stays strong.
