Here are some options:
1. Mild dish soap and water: One of the simplest and most effective ways to clean an engineered stone top is to use a mixture of mild dish soap and warm water. Simply mix a small amount of dish soap with warm water, dampen a soft cloth in the solution, and use it to wipe down the surface. Be sure to rinse the surface with clean water and dry it thoroughly with a clean cloth.

These products are designed to be gentle on the surface while still effectively removing dirt and grime. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully when using these products.

4. Polishing compound: If you want to give your engineered stone top an extra shine, you can use a polishing compound designed specifically for use with this type of surface. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully, as these products can be abrasive if used improperly.
