How to Restore Corian Countertops
Materials Needed
- Bucket
- Liquid dish soap
- Sponge
- Countertop repair kit
- Inspect the counters for any deep scratches. You will be able to fix those when you sand them so the counter will come out looking good.
- Fill a bucket with warm water and add ¼ cup of liquid dish soap. Wash the counters with a sponge and the cleaning solution. Pour the cleaning solution out of the bucket. Rinse the bucket as well as the sponge. Fill the bucket with clean water. Use the clean water and a sponge to rinse the counters.
- Sand the counters with 400 grit sandpaper using light pressure. The sandpaper should be in the countertop repair kit. It is okay if the counters are not completely dry. Make sure the counters stay wet as you sand over them. Lightly sand the edges.
- Change to 600 grit sandpaper from the repair kit and sand the counters. Perform this step only if they scratches are deep. Proceed to the next step if they scratches are minor.
- Wet a sponge and squeeze it out until it is damp. Use the damp sponge to wipe the sanding particles from the counters. Allow the countertops to dry.
