  1. Pour two cups of bleach into a clean, empty spray bottle. Add two cups of warm water to the spray bottle. Shake gently to mix the ingredients.

  2. Spray the counter with the bleach solution to clean and disinfect it. Wipe down the countertop with a clean cloth.

  3. Add a liquid abrasive cleaner to the countertop and buff the cleaner in with a sponge. This will remove any little scratches on the countertop. Rinse off the sponge with warm water, then rinse the countertop.

  4. Apply composite cleaner to the countertop to finish the polishing process, then wipe down using a sponge. Rinse the cleaner off and dry with a clean cloth.

  5. Bring your countertop to a shine using a furniture polish. Furniture polish can be safely used on a composite countertop to make it smell great and bring out its natural shine. Wipe excess polish off using a lint-free cloth.
