Anything surface that won't absorb liquid, i.e. tile, glass, stone, laminated, varnished wood. Bare, untreated wood would be considered a porous surface.

What happens if you use non-porous cleaner on porous surface?

Non-porous cleaners should not be used on porous surfaces because they can leave a residue that is difficult to remove and may cause discoloration or damage to the surface. It is important to use cleaners specifically designed for porous surfaces to avoid potential harm.


Is concrete a non-porous surface?

There are two types porous and non porous. You can also seel porous concrete to make it non porous.


What does non-pourous mean?

Non-porous refers to materials or surfaces that do not allow liquids or gases to pass through them. This means that they do not absorb liquids or allow them to penetrate. Common non-porous materials include glass, metals, and plastics.

Is onyx non porous?

Onyx is a porous stone, which means it has small openings on the surface that can allow liquids and stains to penetrate if not properly sealed. It is important to seal onyx surfaces regularly to maintain their appearance and prevent damage from liquids.


Are your nails a non porous surface?

Yes, nails are considered non-porous surfaces because they do not have tiny openings or pores that allow liquids or substances to pass through them easily. This characteristic makes nails relatively easy to clean and sanitize.


Are white boards porous?

Yes, white boards are typically non-porous surfaces, which allows for easy writing and erasing of markers. This smooth surface helps prevent staining and facilitates cleaning.

What is the difference between hard non-porous surface and soft non-porous surface?

I was curious as to the exact definition of these porous and nonporous because every time I picked up a cleaning supply it would always mention something about whether the product could be used on one or how to treat the area differently depending on whether it was one versus the other. Interestingly enough, a simple google search proved to be much more mystifying and arduous than I would have ever imagine because there was no straightforward answer and all the links characterizing porous v nonporous surfaces were mostly from scientific journals or .edu sites. But to be as concise and brief as possible, from what I gathered, there are a wide array of factors and characteristics to consider for any given material to determine porosity but the main gist is: Porous surfaces are anything that can be penetrated into beyond its outer surface due to either small or narrow spaces which allows absorption, low density, etc. It is porous, or not impermiable. Water, or any other liquid can pass through, for example. Nonporous surfaces on the other hand tend to be thick, dense, and solid do that nothing can permeate it beyond its outer-most surface. Examples of porous and nonporous materials: Porous: fabrics, unvarnished (unfinished) woods, cotton, carpeting, and unsealed tiles (depends on tile type but most need laminate) Nonporous: solid plastics, metal objects (stainless steel, aluminum, chrome, etc), glass of all forms, ceramic surfaces like dishes etc, varnished wood, laminate counters, granite, and vinyl
