This section of the chain can now be cleaned using a mild detergent such as washing up liquid diluted in warm water. Use a dry cloth to dry the chain and then move the chain forward to expose the next section to be cleaned and repeat the cleaning operation. Keep repeating until all of the chain has been cleaned.

How to clean Corian customer counters
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. Clean with soapy water, ammonia based cleaners or commercially available solid surface cleaners(not window cleaners as they can leave a waxy build up that may dull the surface). These will remove most dirt and residue from all types of finishes. Stubborn residue will require a little stronger cleaner. Some colours of Corian® may require more frequent cleaning to maintain a uniform finish. Darker colours tend to require more attention than lighter colours. Over time, even with proper care, your countertop will acquire a patina, changing the appearance of the finish. To restore the look of the original finish spray with 'Deep Cleaner' for DuPont Corian® from Stone Care International. Follow the instructions on the bottle. Wash area with soapy water, rinse and wipe completely dry.
