   Corian wasn’t really meant to be polished. I would clean it with warm water and Dawn dish detergent. I have seen homeowners use Pledge and Armorall. Read the labels on any of these products and test a very small area underneath an appliance. Good Luck.

   Corian is not self-cleaning, whatever you have been told. But it is simple to maintain. For everyday cleaning, try the easy way first! Although liquids cannot penetrate Corian, it is best to wipe up spills as they occur. Just use an ammonia-based hard surface cleaner, a good solid surface cleaner or ordinary detergent. Clean the sink or top as usual, with a damp cloth and detergent, wiping it well and rinsing to get rid of any oils and fat or, spray with a hard surface cleaner and leave a few minutes before rinsing/wiping clean with a damp cloth and finishing with a dry cloth.

   If any stains need more attention sprinkle a gentle abrasive powder bleach on the damp surface and leave for a few minutes before using a soft cloth to rub with a circular motion and rinsing/wiping then drying.

   Once or twice a week, give your sink a beauty treatment. Remove all the fat & oil residues of normal food preparation from the sink, using detergent or hard surface cleaner. Partially fill the sink with warm (not boiling) water. Add 1-2 teaspoons (5-10ml) of liquid household bleach, and leave for a few hours or overnight. You do not need a strong solution. In the morning, the sink should be beautifully clean, with very little effort.
