Clean Enough to Eat On
Silestone® natural quartz countertops with antimicrobial protection inhibit the growth of common bacteria, yeasts, molds and fungi that cause stains, odors and product deterioration. The Microban® antimicrobial product is added to the molecular structure of the quartz during manufacturing, so it will not wash off or wear away. The counters do not protect against food-borne illness and do not replace the need for normal cleaning. For more information on the countertops, visit www.silestone.com.
