VIVA is resistant to cracks, scratches and stains. However, like most materials, excessive force and/or pressure from objects can damage the surface. To keep its shine and luster, we always recommend using a cutting board and a hot pad when cooking.

VIVA surfaces are highly scratch resistant; however, avoid using sharp objects such as sharp knives or screwdrivers directly on the surface. The use of a cutting board is always recommended.
