Dark surfaces may need more daily maintenance since they are more prone to showing signs of everyday use than light surfaces. All dark surfaces tend to be more sensitive to noticeable scratch marks and should be protected from sharp objects. A patina may be more visible on dark models, so wipe away liquid spills and don’t let them dry out on the surface. The use of cream-textured cleaning products is not recommended on dark surfaces. Check first on an inconspicuous area.
