FAQ'S

Silestone is the only countertop with built-in Microban antimicrobial product protection to safely fight the growth of bacteria 24/7 for the life of the product. As a result, Silestone is easier to clean and stays cleaner in between cleanings.

Microban protection is built-in during the manufacturing process — becoming part of the molecular structure of Silestone and will not wash off or wear away.

Microban protection continuously fights the growth of microbes such as odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew. Though Microban protection is not designed to replace good hygiene practices, it does make your Silestone countertops easier to clean and keep cleaner between cleanings.

Microban antimicrobial protection is effective against most common bacteria, yeasts, molds and fungi that cause stains and odors. Microban technology is not designed to protect users from disease-causing microorganisms or foodborne illness nor does it replace the need for good hygiene practices.

Microban technology has undergone extensive independent laboratory testing. It is registered with the EPA for use in Silestone and has a long history of safe use.

Do you still have to clean your Silestone countertop?
Yes. Microban inhibits growth of bacteria, but cannot replace the need for good and regular hygiene practices.

Does any other countertop, vanity top or other quartz surface contain Microban?
Silestone has an exclusive agreement with Microban International and is the ONLY quartz surface in the world to offer antimicrobial protection.
