Corian counters are considered top of the line when it comes to beauty and durability. These solid pour creations offer the look of granite without the need for seams. Since they are synthetic by design, however, some special care comes into play when Corian counter tops are added to a kitchen, bathroom or even workspace.
Corian, by design, is a pretty tough man-made material. These counters resist scratching, staining and even chipping and breaking, but they are not indestructible. Special care might be required to help ensure they continue looking great for years to come.

The basic rules of the road for Corian care follow the same typical pattern that almost all other counters do. They include:
* No cutting allowed. Corian counter tops are pretty durable, but it is still not recommended that cutting be done directly on the surface. Use a cutting board instead to preserve the look.
* Heat hurts. Corian can become damaged when very hot pots or pans are set directly on the surface. Avoid this by having plenty of hot pads or trivets on hand. Remove hot items immediately if they happen on the countertops.
* Avoid dropping heavy items on them. Corian can become damaged when something particularly heavy falls on the surface. Take care to avoid this from happening.
Cleaning Corian counter tops will depend a lot on the type of surface that has actually been chosen. These counters come in three standard finishes. The instructions for matte, semi-gloss and high-gloss tend to vary a bit.
* Matte finish cleaning. In general, matte finished or satin finished Corian counter tops can be cleaned using plain old soapy water. An ammonia-based cleaner may also be used. Water marks can generally be wiped up easily with a damp cloth or sponge. Towel dry to buff them out. Disinfecting these counter tops only requires a mild bleach solution. Treat stains as they occur. A mildly abrasive cleanser or a product recommended specifically for Corian should be used.
* Semi-gloss cleaning. The basic instructions for the matte finish counter tops apply here, as well. To enhance shine, special counter top polish can be used. Treat stains with a very mild abrasive. Daily cleaning can generally be taken care of with a basic sponge or a damp cloth. Buff dry to increase shine.
* High-gloss cleaning. These counters might take a little more tender, loving care. The basic instructions follow the others, but a softer polish might be required to help keep finish high on these counter tops. Don't forget to wipe up with a damp cloth and buff dry.
If particularly nasty stains or spills present, follow manufacturer instructions for tackling them. This is the best advice for ensuring the stains are removed or lessened and that warranties that might be present are not voided. When possible, use products that are endorsed by the manufacturer or guaranteed to work with Corian.
With a little care and basic maintenance, Corian counter tops can stand the test of time and look beautiful doing so. These counters are very durable, but a few things present cause for concern.
