I have caesarstone in color buttermilk, have had no problems with heat or cleaning. The company (caesarstone) promises a nonporous, stain, scratch and heat resistant and backed by a residential lifetime warranty. I love mine and now reccommend to all my clients, not to mention is it's super enviornment friendly

Hi there, yes I echo the other response. We have had no problem with ours. We actually have never put anything super hot on it, I guess we are cautious with that since we had heard the same thing. As far as cleaning, we do get a few tiny little hair size scratches on it from time to time, but they come right off with a bit of clorox. Our counters still look just as beautiful as when we got them installed though, we love them!

Thanks both so much for getting back to me. Patrick
