To put it simply, epoxy resin has quickly taken over as the go-to material for the design of both indoor and outdoor furniture. Moisture- and flame-resistant, the material can withstand a wide range of chemical spills and reactions. If you're looking for a material that can withstand a variety of demanding laboratory conditions, this is it.

Mineral or Murphy's Oil can be used sparingly for weekly or monthly cleaning to keep the epoxy resin surface in top condition. Use. You don't want the surface to get drab and fuzzy by using too much of it. Make sure the shell is thoroughly cleaned and safe for future use after any substantial spills are cleaned up with acetone or paint thinners.

Ensure You're Using the Correct Type of Cloth

Clean any stains you see as soon as possible rather than letting them soak into the countertop and then attempting to clean it after they've set in. Chamois cloths and towels are both acceptable options for cleaning. These cloths are soft on the skin and extremely effective in soaking up liquids.

Steam Cleaning Is Safe

Water and heat do no damage to the epoxy resin surface; on the contrary, they loosen the stain structure and facilitate removal with a wipe.
