To remove stains and scratches from your solid surface worktops, use a non-abrasive cleaner and a microfibre cloth. For stubborn stains, as you would with polishing your solid surface countertops, apply a paste made of baking soda and water, let it sit for a few minutes, and then wipe it away with a damp cloth.
Remove stubborn stains with a diluted mixture of water and bleach or denatured alcohol on a cotton cloth. Rinse with water and wipe dry. Avoid strong acidic products such as toilet or oven cleaners. Disinfect by wiping surfaces with mixture of one part water/one part household bleach.
Avoid using cleaners that contain strong acids. Periodically, it may also be helpful to go over the entire surface with an abrasive cleanser or a wet 7447 Scotch-Brite pad (for a matte finish) to maintain a uniform appearance. Rinse with water and towel dry.
Wipe the countertop surface with the help of an ammonia-based spray cleaner or warm soapy water for minor residue buildups, or with an abrasive cleaner for heavier buildups. This will help to remove minor scratches, scorch marks, and very stubborn stains from the Corian countertop and will revitalize it.
Magic Erasers are abrasive and shouldn't be used on wood or any high gloss surface, including countertops, because they can dull the finish. Use Magic Erasers with caution on painted surfaces. Always spot test, no matter what you're cleaning.

In fact, employees can often perform most scratch repairs using a mild abrasive cleaner to “buff” out the scratch. To restore a matte finish, countertop manufacturer Corian recommends first washing the area where the scratch is located with hot soapy water. This removes any film that has accumulated on the surface.

Use Soap, Water, and Elbow Grease
Using a soft cloth or microfiber towel, gently scrub the entire countertop surface in circular motions, paying extra attention to any visible stains, spills, or heavily soiled areas. A little elbow grease and some light scrubbing can go a long way in lifting stubborn grime and buildup.
