For example, they can develop etching from acidic liquids, such as lemon or tomato juice. Marble can also chip at the edges if you drop a heavy pan. A faux marble countertop isn&rsquo;t as delicate as the real deal (depending on the material you&rsquo;re painting over), but it can still get scratched if you&rsquo;re not careful. Use hot pads and cutting boards to protect the countertop.</p></div>

Q: What should you not use on Formica countertops?

• <div><p>You should never use gritty or abrasive cleaners to clean your Formica countertops, and the same goes for scouring sponges, steel wool, or anything acid-based like vinegar.

Q: What is the average lifespan of Corian countertops?

Q: How do I calculate square feet for my countertop?

"We had two great guys from West Shore, Weston and Dylan, come to install a new front door in April 2025. First of all, they were great to work with—pleasant, professional, friendly—just great to work with. They made sure my husband and I both knew what to expect as they worked on the door and encouraged us to ask questions as need be. They also worked well together and did amazing work on our project. It was very sturdy, worked well and looked incredible. Weston and Dylan were so supportive of the bold color choice we made, yellow, and said they thought it looked really good. They meant it too. They were great as neighbors came by to see the new door too! Everyone really liked it! Good PR for the company. All in all we couldn’t ask for two more capable, professional, and friendly guys to spend the morning with! Thanks so much Weston and Dylan! We love our new beautiful, windowed door from West Shore!! We will highly recommend you. "

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

Marble countertops don’t necessarily crack easily. However, they are more susceptible to damage than some other types of countertops. For example, they can develop etching from acidic liquids, such as lemon or tomato juice. Marble can also chip at the edges if you drop a heavy pan. A faux marble countertop isn’t as delicate as the real deal (depending on the material you’re painting over), but it can still get scratched if you’re not careful. Use hot pads and cutting boards to protect the countertop.

You should never use gritty or abrasive cleaners to clean your Formica countertops, and the same goes for scouring sponges, steel wool, or anything acid-based like vinegar. Formica can't handle high heat, so never place anything fresh from the oven or off the stovetop on a laminate surface because it will scorch.

New countertops can last for anywhere between 15 and 50 years, with the exact lifespan depending on the material:

Quartz: 50 to 100 years
Marble: 50 to 100 years
Granite: 50 to 100 years
Laminate: 15 to 20 years
Concrete: 20 to 30 years
Tile: 40 to 100 years

Keep in mind some materials are more likely to stain and chip than others, which is an important factor to consider when it comes to the longevity of your countertops. Some materials also need special cleaning and maintenance, like tile countertops, which need grout cleaning, and concrete countertops, which need resealing.

When properly cared for, Corian® countertops last 20 to 30 years. Maintenance tasks to increase longevity include fixing damage as soon as possible, cleaning up spills immediately, and promptly taking care of small or cosmetic damage. You can buff out scratches with sandpaper and remove water stains with a water stain remover.

The easiest way to calculate a countertop's square footage is to divide your countertop into squares and rectangles, then multiply the length and the width of each piece in inches before adding them together and dividing by 144.
