The benefit with Corian countertops is that you can even buff out scratches with an abrasive pad and cleaner. If just cleaning and buffing aren’t enough, you can use a commercial countertop polish to bring back the glossy finish. If you aren’t able to revitalize Corian countertops even after doing all this, then you can contact K&B Cabinets to get them renewed professionally. 

Here are the steps you need to follow if you want to know how to revitalize Corian countertops and make them as good as new.

How To Revitalize Corian Countertops | Clean your Corian Countertop

  • Clean the countertop using an ammonia-based household cleaner. Cover the surface of your Corian countertop with an ammonia-based household cleaner or countertop cleaner by spraying it from a spray bottle. Never use non ammonia-based household sprays, as they will leave behind residues that will diminish the shine.
  • If you don’t have access to an ammonia-based spray cleaner, you can also clean the countertop with warm soapy water. Fill up a container with warm water and put in 2-3 drops of liquid dish soap in it. Dip a sponge in the solution to soak it with soapy water and wipe down the countertop in circular motions to clean it. 
  • Remove the stains and residue buildup with an abrasive household cleaner. Scrub the surface of the Corian countertop with small overlapping circular motions at places where you see stains or buildup of residue or soap scum. 

Buff Out Fine Scratches from the Surface

  • Wipe the countertop surface with the help of an ammonia-based spray cleaner or warm soapy water for minor residue buildups, or with an abrasive cleaner for heavier buildups. This will help to remove minor scratches, scorch marks, and very stubborn stains from the Corian countertop and will revitalize it.
  • Wet an abrasive pad and pour some abrasive cleaner on it. Rub this abrasive pad over any kind of scratch alternating between a linear back-and-forth motion and a side-to-side motion to buff the surface. Buff your Corian countertop once a month, to help the finish stay glossy and bright.
  • After completely buffing the countertop, clean it with plain water. Scrub the surface of the countertop down with a clean wet sponge to remove all the abrasive cleaner residue. 

Revitalize the Shine with Countertop Polish

  • Use a commercial countertop polish on your Corian countertop to make its surface shiny and new. You can also use polishes made for other types of countertops, such as granite, on your Corian countertops. 
  • Generously spread the polish onto the countertop in circular motions using a clean microfiber cloth. Take a small amount of the polish on a piece of microfiber cloth. Wipe it onto the Corian countertop in circular motions, reversing the direction of motion after every 3-4 rotation. Then buff of the polish with another microfiber cloth.
