Every quartz deserves a Belenco touch. Take care of your quartz surfaces!
Belenco brings to life the world-class, high-quality, most fashionable, most elegant quartz surfaces.
Listen to our suggestions to preserve the strength, shine and perfection of your quartz surfaces for years, just like the first day you bought them.
Belenco is a dirt-resistant surface thanks to its non-water absorption, non-porous surface and resistance to chemicals. Substances that may cause permanent staining of other countertop materials such as wine, mustard, vinegar, lemon or cause abrasion on their surfaces do not affect Belenco. Thanks to this superiority, Belenco does not need surface protection application.
Since Belenco takes its shine from the natural shine of the quartz it contains, there is no need for polishing or re-polishing its surface.
Belenco preserves its first day's shine and natural vitality for many years with a simple daily cleaning.
Daily Cleaning
For daily cleaning, you can clean with a damp and soft cloth and liquid detergent. It is important to rinse after cleaning. Detergents containing crystals can cause dullness on Belenco over time, as they clean with the abrasion method. Therefore, the use of such cleaners should be strictly avoided.
Difficult Stains
Belenco is a dirt-repellent surface, but you may need to take extra care and effort to remove dried stains. For this reason, it will be convenient for you to immediately clean the dirt spilled on your counter.
To clean hard-to-clean dirt such as dried food residues, gum, nail polish, dried paint residues, first scrape the stain gently with a plastic spatula, and then clean it with a soft cloth and liquid detergent. Sponges without abrasive surfaces and liquid detergents containing bleach can be used for very difficult stains, provided that they are rinsed immediately after cleaning.
It is very important not to allow the formation of stains that are difficult to remove, such as rust stains, heavy oil stains. In cases where such stains are encountered, oil and rust remover products should be used very carefully. These products with a high PH level should only be applied on the stain and should be rinsed with plenty of water as soon as possible. If left on the surface for a long time or if not rinsed well enough, these products may cause Belenco colors to fade and surface smoothness to be lost.
Impact and scratch resistance
Belenco embodies the advantages of the quartz it contains. The most important feature of quartz, which is one of the hardest minerals in nature, to Belenco is its high surface resistance. Belenco is the counter material with the highest scratch resistance. However, it is still not correct to use sharp and cutting tools directly on Belenco.
Belenco has gained its shine by mechanical abrasion of the quartz it contains. No brightening chemicals are used on the surface of Belenco. For this reason, if you take care not to scratch your Belenco countertop, it will maintain its shine for many years.
Effect of temperature changes
Although Belenco has higher heat resistance than other countertop materials, it can be affected by high temperature changes. For this reason, it is absolutely necessary not to place hot pots taken from the stove or oven directly on Belenco, but to use a trivet.
What should we pay attention to? Please pay attention to the following points in order to use your Belenco counter for many years with the brightness and beauty of the first day:
Do not let stubborn dirt dry on your counter. Cleaning such difficult stains as soon as possible will allow you to use less chemicals and reduce cleaning times.
Avoid the use of high pH cleaning agents as much as possible. When you have to use it, simply apply it directly on the stain and rinse with plenty of water as soon as possible.
Never use detergents containing abrasive particles. Prefer gel products. Likewise, sponges and scrubbers with abrasive surfaces should not be used.
Do not use chemicals such as thinner, trichloroethane or methylene chloride on your counter. Substances such as acids and salt spirits with a PH degree above 8.5 will cause your countertop to fade and its smooth surface to deteriorate.
Do not place your utensils from the stove or oven directly on your counter. Be sure to use a trivet.
Do not use cutting tools such as knives directly on your counter, prefer a cutting board.
Belenco takes its shine from the quartz it contains. Therefore, do not apply brightening chemicals to Belenco surfaces.
Belenco surfaces can only be polished under factory conditions. Therefore, do not try to polish your Belenco counter or floor. As a result of such applications, Belenco will be damaged beyond repair.
