Solid surface was created for a lifetime of easy care.  Just follow the simple guidelines to help keep your surfaces looking fresh. 

Routine Cleaning
Soapy water, ammonia based cleaners (not window cleaners as they can leave a waxy build up that may dull the surface) or commercially available solid surface cleaners will remove most dirt and residue from all types of finishes.  Stubborn residue will require a little stronger cleaner.  Experience has shown that a film builds up on the surface if water is left to dry on the countertop.  This film will dull the look of the countertop making the finish appear blotchy and uneven.  To prevent build-up of the film, it is very important to wipe the countertop completely dry after spills and cleaning. 

Preventing Damage
Heat:  While solid surface is heat resistant, as with all countertop materials, it is important to minimize direct heat exposure to protect your surface and investment.
DO NOT PLACE HOT POTS, PANS, ETC. DIRECTLY ON THE COUNTERTOP SURFACE.
Always use heat trivets or hot pads when placing hot objects on any surface.  Always use a trivet under portable heat generating appliances such as a toaster oven or griddle. 

Scratches:  Never cut or chop directly on solid surfaces.  Always use a cutting board.

Chemicals:  Avoid getting strong chemicals, such as paint removers, oven cleaners, acetone based cleaners, etc. on your solid surface countertop.  If a spill does occur, promptly flush the surface with water to fully rinse off the chemical.

Fractures:  Avoid standing and sitting on countertops or dropping heavy objects on the surface.
