Understanding Hi Macs Worktops and Their Unique Qualities
Hi Macs worktops are renowned for their luxurious appearance, innovative design, and remarkable adaptability in modern interiors. Crafted from top-quality acrylic and natural minerals, these worktops are celebrated for their non-porous nature, seamless integration, and exceptional durability. Whether you’re upgrading your kitchen, bathroom, or a commercial workspace, Hi Macs offers both style and substance.
Their unique composition makes them resistant to daily wear, stains, and bacterial growth, elevating hygiene and maintenance simplicity. With a variety of finishes and design options, Hi Macs worktops are tailored to suit every taste and need, offering an elegant, high-performance surface for both residential and workplace environments.
What Makes Hi Macs Different
Hi Macs is an acrylic-based solid surface with mineral content. The material is non-porous, and the joins can be finished to appear seamless, which supports hygiene because there are no gaps for grime. With sensible care, the surface stays smart, and marks can often be resolved without replacement.
Why this matters for care
- Non-porous means spills sit on the surface rather than soaking in
- Seamless joins reduce places for dirt to settle
- Uniform through the thickness, so specialist refinishing can refresh areas if needed
Daily Cleaning Routine
A simple daily routine keeps the worktop spotless and ready for food prep.
You will need
- Soft microfibre cloths
- Warm water
- A small amount of mild pH-neutral washing-up liquid or a cleaner labelled suitable for solid surfaces
Steps
- Wipe away crumbs and dust with a dry microfibre cloth.
- Dampen a cloth with warm water and a little washing-up liquid. Wipe in smooth overlapping strokes.
- Rinse the cloth, wipe again with clean water to remove residue.
- Dry with a fresh cloth to prevent water marks and maintain an even sheen.
Helpful tip
If you prefer a spray, choose a gentle product described as suitable for a solid surface. Regular use keeps oils and colour from settling.

Products and Tools to Avoid
