A professionally repaired surface requires the same care as the surrounding surface — no special treatment, but some awareness of what to avoid will extend the life of the repair.

Cleaning Repaired Surfaces

Use appropriate cleaners — mild household cleaners (washing-up liquid, kitchen spray, bathroom cleaner) are suitable for most repaired surfaces. Avoid bleach-based products on repair areas unless the material is specifically bleach-resistant.
Avoid abrasive products — scouring pads, wire wool and abrasive cream cleaners can scratch and dull repair areas. Use soft cloths and non-abrasive sponges.
Rinse thoroughly — cleaning product residue left to dry can affect the appearance of both the original surface and the repair area over time.

Specific Surfaces

Granite and quartz repairs — clean with standard kitchen spray. Avoid acidic cleaners on marble repairs.
Bath repairs — clean with standard bathroom cleaner. Avoid bleach and abrasive products.
LVT and floor repairs — clean with standard floor cleaner. Avoid steam mops on LVT.
Composite sink repairs — clean with standard kitchen cleaner. Avoid abrasive cream cleaners.

What to Avoid

Heat — allow the same care around heat as with the surrounding surface. Most repair compounds are heat-resistant to the same degree as the original material but should not be subjected to extreme direct heat.
Sharp impacts — the repaired area is as strong as the surrounding material in normal use, but avoid sharp impacts in the repair area.
