Product Information
Full details
The Purely Home Glass Worktop Protector is designed for home cooks who need a reliable, heat-resistant surface to guard countertops against damage from hot cookware. Featuring a vibrant ditsy flowers design in a rich purple hue, this accessory functions as both a decorative piece and a high-utility hot pot stand. While it provides excellent protection against thermal stress, users should be aware that the glass surface is rigid and may be susceptible to cracking if subjected to extreme physical impact or uneven weight distribution.

FAQs
Can I use this as a cutting board?
While the glass is durable, it is not recommended for heavy chopping as it may dull your knives and potentially scratch the surface of the protector.
Is this product dishwasher safe?
No, it is recommended to hand wash the protector with a damp cloth to preserve the non-slip base and the printed design.
How much heat can the protector withstand?
The glass is designed to handle temperatures typical of standard pots and pans taken directly from a stovetop or oven.
Will this scratch my stone countertop?
No, the protector features a non-slip base designed specifically to protect sensitive surfaces from scratches and heat damage.
Can I place it on a hot induction hob?
It is not recommended to place the protector on an active or hot stovetop surface, as extreme heat may damage the backing material.
Troubleshooting
The protector slides during use
Ensure both the kitchen countertop and the underside of the protector are clean and free of crumbs or oil residue.
Surface feels greasy
Clean using a mild degreasing spray or warm soapy water and dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.
Floral pattern shows signs of wear
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive metal scrubbers directly on the printed side of the glass.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is instantaneous; simply place the protector on a flat, stable surface within your kitchen. It is compatible with all standard countertop materials, including stone, laminate, and wood. To ensure longevity, wipe the glass surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent after every use to prevent grease buildup. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads, as these may damage the floral print or scratch the surface. Ensure the protector is completely dry before placing it back onto delicate wood surfaces to prevent trapped moisture. Store it in a flat position when not in use to maintain the integrity of the non-slip base.
