Know your surface countertop: 
When a cleaning service tries to remove the stain from the solid surface countertop, then they identify the surface type before starting the cleaning process. Normally, you can divide this surface into three different types that include mate finish, high gloss, and semi-gloss finish.

So, when you start the stain removal process, make sure you know the material used for making your solid surface countertop. With this proper knowledge, you would be able to remove the stain like a professional cleaning service and you would not have to worry about the damages in it. 

Identify the right cleaning solution: 
You need to choose a cleaning solution on the basis of your surface type. If you have a glossy or semi-glossy finish, then using a mild soap solution would be a good idea. It will not rub your surface in a harsh way and you are going to get good results in the best possible ways.

And if you have a solid countertop with a matte finish, then using baking soda or some abrasive cleaning can be a good choice. This right identification of a cleaning solution will help you get a good result as you get with an expert cleaning service provider.

Use special cleanser: 
Sometimes a stain can be very tough and you may fail to remove it with mild soap water or regular cleaning solutions.

Talking about examples of hard stains, you can consider food residue marks or hard watermarks as good examples of such a stain. It will help you get good results with ease and you would have a clean countertop as well.

Removal process: 
In order to remove the stain completely with a cleanser, you should soak the stain in the solution for a few minutes. After that, you should try to remove it with a clean cloth with a patterned movement. This will help you get rid of the stain easily.

Once you get rid of the stain, then you can rinse the area with clean water and you can get a good result with ease.

In this hard process, you may need to use a special cleanser and you may need to follow some process of cleaning with hard work involved in it.

Disinfect your countertop: 
In order to clean your countertop like a professional cleaning service, you should pay minute attention to the disinfection part as well. If you would not disinfect your countertop after removing the stain, then you might leave many harmful bacteria and microbes on your countertop that can be harmful to your health.

In order to disinfect the countertop, you can take the bleaching solution and you can do the cleaning with it. The good thing about bleach is that it is not only a good disinfectant, but it can also help you get rid of the stain on your countertop. Also, many special disinfectants or cleaning solutions are also there in the market that can help you get rid of microbes in easy ways. So, you can use that as well for having a clean countertop.

Rinse thoroughly: 
After the cleaning and disinfection process is completed, you can rinse the countertop with the help of clean water. After rinsing it, you need to dry it completely using a dry and fresh towel and air. Also, you should polish the countertop with a clean cloth. With this process, you would be able to restore the shine and you would be able to use it again without any problem. Other than this, polishing with a cloth will help you get rid of the remaining stain as well in an easy manner.
