FAQ

HIMACS is a non-porous product that resists staining, and the growth of mold, mildew, or bacteria, making it ideal for hygienic arenas. HIMACS is NSF-approved for food preparation areas in restaurants and bars. Its exceptionally smooth non-porous surface makes it easy to clean.

Due to its non-porous attribute, there is no wax or sealant required for any special care of the product. Normal cleaning only requires soap and water or damp cloth with mild cleanser. If you have chosen a matte finish, you can use an abrasive cleaner like Ajax or Comet. When you do so, we recommend periodically cleaning the entire surface in a circular motion to maintain uniformity. Do not allow cleaners, such as those designed for drains, toilets and ovens to contact HIMACS. Some of these cleaners can cause whitening which can be difficult to remove. Please visit our Care and Maintenance page, and contact us if you have any further question.
