Porcelain resists many household stains and chemicals, but metal marks, grease, hard water, and residue can remain visible. Avoid abrasive tools that may dull polished finishes or damage printed decoration. Clean seams, sink joints, and mitered edges carefully because those materials may have different chemical limitations from the slab surface. Prompt cleanup keeps textured finishes from collecting soil.
Key considerations
- stain resistance
- chemical resistance
- cleanability
- low porosity
- heat resistance
- printed surface
