What do you use to clean the finished product? I like to use bleach in the kitchen to clean. Can you use bleach on this? Can you use a scrub sponge?

No, can't use any harsh chemicals such as bleach, vinegar or any abrasives such as Comet or Soft Scrub, & never use scratchy pads. Only use mild dish soap & water or Giani Cleaner. Make sure to always use a cutting board & hot pads. We've had our Giani countertops for 4 months & daily clean up is easy & we love the way they look (& you can't beat the price) When we have company they can't believe these are our old countertops! Hope this helps.

It depends on the stain. I use bleach if it is real bad and it is a food stain.

I recommend you do a search on YouTube, many have made excellent demos there! I use my cloth ALL THE TIME!!! Only use water with it and NEVER let it contact bleach.

Yes. I haven't had any problems. I use a standard sponge. No scrub brushes.

The instructions say not to use bleach. I just got mine and the fact that I can't use bleach on it bothers me a little because it seems that just water wouldn't sanitize it.

there's spray cleaners with bleach. a few spritzes,rinse and you're set. (the wash machine doesn't cut it!)

I used a kitchen "all surface" cleaner that had bleach in it, and it came out fine. After I was done cleaning it, I scrubbed it with just water for a bit, to make sure my cats wouldn't lick it and get sick or something.

I use them. I use Soft Scrub with bleach and it cleans up real nice. Is this necessary. Not sure. Have always used on my sinks.

The BEST way is to wipe it out w/paper towels upon rinsing. Avoid "scratchy" cleaners always, but you can remove past buildup w/those "safe for Teflon" dishwashing sponges. Hope this helps!

I just use a soapy sponge, then rinse...looks like new and I've used it constantly for years.

I used on my porcelain sink w/o removing any grime or stains prior to use of it. It worked really great, even cleaned stains from around the drain. I 1st used a regular sponge cleaner over the stains, no response. I used a magic eraser, cleaned some, but not as much as I wanted. Used hope with magic eraser and almost effortlessly removed stains and "appeared" to cover scratches. I have white sink, so, whether it helped the scratches or not, I don't know. But my sink looked awesome after cleaning and rinsing!

I've had these things clean stuff that bleach couldn't. Different technologies. I would definitely try them.

It cleans off easily with my normal scrubber sponge. I wash it right after eating. It's stainless steel. If anything got stuck you could spray it with oven cleaner, but the tray underneath is harder to clean so I put non-stick aluminum foil down. Easy!

Well; if you have the non-stick one, I hope that you didn't use anything abrasive (like Brillo) on it because that will totally wreck it. That said, it is not really nonstick -- it's semi-stick. That means that mine -- used according to their directions and cleaned their way too -- will not ever look like it did when new (less than a year ago). But it will get pretty clean if you let it sit in the sink with hot water and dish soap in it for a few hours and then use a Scotch (or similar) scrub sponge with the blue scrubber side on it. But, sadly, it is neither nonstick nor easy to clean.

You can use bleach safely in the bowl. You don't need to; regular toilet cleaners work fine.

We do not recommend washing in the dishwasher, as you should simply wipe out the pan with warm water and paper towel. You can use soap and water also to clean the pan, but no scrubber or sponge with abrasive surface.
