Timberline Vanities
- For all surfaces use only a soft cloth and a weak solution of a non-abrasive cleaner. Do not use any abrasive, acid or alkaline based cleaners. A moist micro fibre cloth will give the best results.
- Avoid sharp objects and keep heat and hot objects away from tops.
- Cabinets should be installed at least 300mm away from showers or bathtubs to avoid water damage.
- Care must be taken to immediately dry any condensation, spillage or water leakage that may gain access to the cabinet, as water damage is not covered under warranty.
Mirrors
- Keep your bathroom well ventilated during showers, etc. to avoid condensation that can run and pool at the edge of your mirror.
- Always protect the edges of your mirror from excessive moisture and take care to ensure any moisture/ condensation is wiped off immediately. For best results wipe your mirrors with a slightly moist micro fibre cloth and then dry with a dry micro fibre cloth to leave a streak free finish.
- DO NOT use any ammonia-based cleaning products (including glass cleaners), as these could corrode the mirror’s silver backing and will leave streaks and smears behind.
- Be sure to read the label of all cleaning products before use.
- Never spray cleaners directly onto a mirror. Spray onto a soft micro fibre cloth and then wipe the mirror.
- When in doubt, gentler is better - a damp cloth can clean a mirror exceedingly well.
- It is recommended to oil the edges of your mirrors once every 6 months with a small amount of clean, clear oil (such as baby oil). Avoid using heavier mineral oils as this may mark your mirror. Wipe up excess oil with a clean cloth and a light spray cleaner.
Caesarstone Tops
- For everyday, routine cleaning of Caesarstone we recommend wiping the surface with warm soapy water (a mild detergent) and a clean damp cloth, or Caesarstone Spray Cleaner.
- As Caesarstone is virtually non-porous, it will keep its lustrous gloss and ultra smooth surface which never needs polishing or sealing.
- Never attempt to polish the surface and avoid prolonged rubbing in one spot when cleaning.
- For further information refer to caesarstone.com.au/cleaning-maintenance.
Silksurface Tops
- Wipe clean with a soft damp cloth or sponge. For basic stains, clean with mild detergents. It is recommended to periodically clean the surface with a mild non-abrasive cleanser to maintain a uniform appearance.
- Avoid contact with strong chemicals such as paint removers, acetone, oven cleaners and other strong chemicals.
- Routine cleaning with soap, water and a sponge, or window cleaner and paper towel will remove most dirt and stains.
- For more stubborn stains, gently rub the stain with a scouring cleanser and a white/light coloured non-abrasive ScotchBrite-style pad and water. Always rub in a circular motion, then rinse and towel dry.
Acrylic and Ceramic Tops & Ceramic Basins
- Wipe clean with a soft damp cloth or sponge. For basic stains, clean with mild detergents.
- It is recommended to periodically clean the surface with a mild non-abrasive cleanser to maintain a uniform appearance. Ajax Bathroom Spray ‘n’ Wipestyle cleaner is recommended for general cleaning.
- Avoid contact with strong chemicals such as paint removers, acetone, oven cleaners, hair dyes, etc. and other strong chemicals.
- Routine cleaning with soap, water and a sponge, or window cleaner and paper towel will remove most dirt and stains.

Dolomite Tops
- Clean with normal liquid detergent. Do not use detergent containing abrasives.
- Buff with Timberline 3 Dimension Cleaner and Polish (car care products are a good alternative). If these instructions are followed regularly, the product will keep its fine appearance for many years to come.
- Do not expose the product to acids, ammonia, drain cleaner, hair dyes or chlorine.
- If, for some reason, the surface should become scratched or faded, polish and wax according to the above instructions. Deeper scratches can first be carefully polished with wet strength sandpaper (approx. 1200 grit).

Timber Tops
- Normal maintenance consists of wiping down with a damp cloth. Detergents, cleansers (liquids such as ‘Handy Andy’, ‘Spray & Wipe’, etc) and other cleaning agents are all suitable. ‘Harsh’ cleansers such as ‘Ajax’ may also be used, although not on a regular basis as they may effect gloss level.
- Timber tops will readily take the punishment associated with day-to-day usage within the household environment.
- Products that should be avoided are those containing silicon compounds (such as ‘Mr Sheen’). Silicon can embed itself in the chemical structure of the polyurethane coating making subsequent recoating difficult.
