FAQs
What are the dimensions of the Stow Green Worktop Protector?
The product comes in three sizes: Large (50cm x 40cm), Medium (40cm x 30cm), and Small (30cm x 22cm). The 'Green' variant is typically available in one of these sizes, refer to the product title for specific dimensions.
Can I cut directly on this protector?
Yes, it is designed with a scratch-proof surface, allowing you to chop and cut directly on it. However, excessively rough use with very sharp knives over time may eventually leave micro-scratches.
Is it safe to place hot pans on the protector?
Yes, it is heat resistant and can be used to place hot pots and pans on. Avoid placing extremely hot items directly from a high-heat oven onto a cold protector, as this could cause thermal shock.
How do I clean the worktop protector?
It can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
Is the glass tempered?
Yes, the protector is manufactured from toughened glass, making it highly durable and resistant to breakage.
Can this be used as a chopping board?
Yes, it serves as an excellent hygienic chopping surface while also protecting your underlying countertops.
What makes it hygienic?
The glass surface is non-porous, meaning it doesn't absorb food particles or liquids, making it easy to wipe clean and preventing bacterial buildup.
Troubleshooting
Worktop protector appears dull or streaky after cleaning.
Use a glass cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and water, followed by a clean, dry microfiber cloth for a streak-free finish. Ensure no cleaning residue is left behind.
The protector slides slightly on the counter.
Ensure the countertop surface is completely dry and free of grease or food particles before placing the protector. For added stability, consider small, non-slip silicone pads placed under the corners.
A small chip or scratch appears.
While designed to be scratch-proof, deep gouges from very sharp objects or impact on edges may occur. For minor scratches, they may not be noticeable in normal use. If significant, consider using a specialized glass repair kit or replacing the protector.
