What is the weight of the product?

Does the design fade over time?
The British-designed Buttercup Farm pattern is integrated into the glass and is designed for durability with normal use and cleaning.
Can it be used outdoors?
This worktop saver is designed for indoor kitchen use. Extended exposure to outdoor elements may affect its appearance and integrity.
Troubleshooting
Worktop saver feels unstable
Ensure the countertop surface is perfectly flat and dry. Place the saver centrally to distribute weight evenly.
Stubborn stains or marks
For persistent marks, try a paste of baking soda and water. Apply to the stain, let it sit for a few minutes, then gently scrub with a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly.
Cloudiness after washing
This may be due to hard water. Try using a dishwasher cleaner or a vinegar rinse. Ensure the dishwasher is functioning correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Cooksmart Buttercup Farm Glass Worktop Saver requires no setup. Simply place it on a flat, stable countertop surface. Ensure the countertop is dry before placing the saver to prevent any slippage.
Compatibility: This worktop saver is compatible with all types of kitchen countertops, including laminate, solid surface, granite, and quartz. It is designed for domestic kitchen use.
Care Instructions:
- Wiping Clean: For minor spills and daily cleaning, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly.
- Dishwasher Safe: For a more thorough clean, the worktop saver can be placed in a dishwasher. Ensure it is positioned securely to avoid damage during the wash cycle.
