Everyday Cleaning and Maintenance

Taking Care of FENIX® Means Taking Care of its Structure

If you look at FENIX^® through a microscope, you will see the structure that causes light to reflect at a variety of angles. This is responsible for what we recognize as a matte appearance.

To clean the structure, an essential step is rinsing regularly with water as it avoids that anything stays behind in it.

In this section, you can find some simple but important guidelines to help you care for your FENIX^® surface: 

• Everyday cleaning
• Dos and Don'ts
• Removing Stains
• Deep Cleaning
• Thermal Healing

Is your matte surface FENIX^®?

Before following these instructions, please verify whether your matte surface is FENIX^®. Be aware that not all similar-looking matte surfaces that look similar have the same resistance to cleaning liquids. When in doubt, the supplier of your piece of furniture will be able to clarify if it is FENIX^®.

Everyday Cleaning

Cleaning FENIX^® means cleaning its structure. You can do this with warm water. As FENIX^® is a strong material, you can also use any household cleaner – even solvents like acetone* if needed. However, to avoid damaging the structure, don’t scrub it with abrasive cream, a scouring pad or a hard brush; in the long-term, this might lead to a glossy spot on your matte surface. Instead, you can use a melamine sponge – also known as a magic sponge.

As a final step, to avoid anything staying behind in the structure – whether that’s dirt or residue from your cleaner – always rinse afterward with warm water and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
*always follow safety instructions
