Why Choose Oltremateria® Resin Surfaces

Oltremateria® resin surfaces create continuous, joint-free floors and walls. This seamless finish not only looks elegant but also stops dust and dirt from gathering in cracks. Because of this, these surfaces are popular in homes and places needing high cleanliness standards, such as hospitals and food production areas.

The resin is water-repellent and non-absorbent, making daily cleaning straightforward. It also resists impacts and wear well. Minor scratches or marks can be fixed easily with regular care. These qualities make Oltremateria® resin surfaces a smart choice for anyone wanting a stylish yet practical surface.

Daily Cleaning Tips

Keeping resin surfaces clean does not require special tools or harsh chemicals. Follow these simple steps for routine cleaning:

• Remove dust and loose dirt using a broom or vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment.

• Mop the surface with water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid foaming or acidic cleaners.

• Dry the surface with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and ensure no moisture remains.

• Pay attention to corners and edges where dirt can build up.

  
  

Using soft cleaning tools like microfiber cloths or mops helps protect the resin finish. Cleaning machines with soft felt pads can also be used for larger areas, but avoid anything abrasive.

Handling Stains and Marks

For occasional stains or marks, act quickly to prevent permanent damage:

• Blot spills immediately with a soft cloth.

• Use a gentle detergent diluted in water to clean the area.

• Avoid scrubbing hard or using abrasive pads.

• If marks persist, consult the manufacturer’s guidelines for recommended products or professional restoration.

  
  

Regular maintenance can restore minor surface imperfections, keeping the resin looking fresh without costly repairs.

Preventing Damage

To protect the surface and extend its lifespan, consider these precautions:

• Avoid dragging heavy furniture across the resin. Lift and carry items instead.

• For chairs with wheels, use soft rubber castors to prevent scratches.

• Place protective pads under furniture legs.

• Avoid exposing the surface to harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

  
  

These simple steps reduce wear and tear, preserving the surface’s smooth appearance and durability.

Choosing the Right Cleaning Products

Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when selecting cleaning products. Test any new product on a small, hidden area before applying it to the entire surface. Avoid:

• Acidic cleaners

• Abrasive powders or pads

• Foaming detergents

• Strong solvents or bleach

  
  

Using the right products ensures the resin finish remains intact and maintains its water-repellent properties.
