Caring for Your Caesarstone® Benchtop: Everyday Cleaning & Maintenance Made Simple

Caesarstone benchtops are designed for real life — durable enough for everyday use and beautiful enough to stay that way for decades. Whether you’ve chosen a Caesarstone ICON™ Mineral Surface or a Porcelain Surface, both are built to handle cooking, spills, and daily wear with minimal effort.

The key is knowing what works best for your surface. Once you do, caring for your benchtop becomes second nature.

Both Mineral and Porcelain surfaces are simple to maintain. For day-to-day cleaning, use warm soapy water or Caesarstone Spray Cleaner and a soft cloth. These remove most residue without dulling the surface.

When a deeper clean is needed, reach for Caesarstone Cream Cleanser and a microfibre cloth. Apply a small amount, work in gentle circles, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a soft towel.

Which cleaning products should be avoided on stone benchtops?

For Mineral surfaces, avoid soaps made with plant oils, abrasive pads, scouring powders, or strong cleaners with very high or very low pH.

For Porcelain, avoid harsh chemicals containing hydrofluoric acid or strong alkaline oven cleaners. If contact occurs, rinse the area immediately with water.

How can I remove common stains like water spots or grease from stone benchtops?

For Mineral surfaces, wipe spills as soon as they happen; that’s the easiest way to stop marks before they set. If you notice water rings or light grease, clean with warm soapy water or Spray Cleaner, then dry the area fully to prevent a dull patina from forming.

On Porcelain, start the same way. For tougher grease or fingerprints, use the Caesarstone Cream Cleanser with a non-scratch pad, rinse with warm water, and buff dry to restore that smooth finish.

What are the best techniques to remove stains from Caesarstone?

If a mark doesn’t shift with the standard method above, use Caesarstone Cream Cleanser on a damp, non-scratch pad and clean gently in circular motions. This is ideal for things like gum, dried food, or light paint residue. Rinse and dry completely once done.

For Mineral surfaces, scraping isn’t necessary, just a soft cloth and patience will do the job.


Where can I buy Caesarstone cream cleanser?

For effortless upkeep, the Caesarstone Deluxe Cleaning Kit (complete with the Spray Cleaner and Cream Cleanser) is available online through the Caesarstone Online Shop. Prefer to shop in person? You’ll also find individual products at selected showrooms across Australia.

Choosing genuine Caesarstone cleaners matters. They’re formulated to protect your benchtop’s surface chemistry and finish, unlike budget alternatives that can leave residues or affect the sheen.

What are effective methods to remove stains from stone benchtops?

The same steps apply across all Caesarstone surfaces. Start mild, and only step up if needed. Simply clean, rinse, and dry. Consistency is what keeps the surface looking new.


How can I safely polish my Caesarstone benchtop?

You don’t need to polish Caesarstone. Both Mineral and Porcelain surfaces are factory-finished to hold their natural sheen for life. They won’t need waxes, sealants or polishing creams. Just clean, rinse, and dry. If you have a dark benchtop and see fingerprints in the light, a clean, slightly damp microfiber cloth will do the trick.

Where can I purchase a Caesarstone chip repair kit?

We don’t sell a DIY chip repair kit, but chips caused by external impact can usually be repaired by a professional fabricator. You’ll need to directly contact your repair company or find a repairer to locate your nearest specialist.

Preventing chips:

  • Choose edge profiles with at least a 3–4 mm radius to strengthen corners.
  • For undermount sinks, ensure the cut-out has a minimum 6 mm radius.
  • Avoid dropping heavy items or knocking sharp objects against the edge.
  • Use a chopping board or surface protector under heavy pots and pans.

Every Caesarstone surface also comes with a Lifetime Warranty, reflecting our confidence in the quality and durability of every slab. With proper care, your benchtop will perform beautifully for decades.
