Quartz Care & Maintenance

With the right care, quartz worksurfaces can lend aesthetic appeal to your kitchen for years. This engineered product does not require sealants, and its virtually non-porous surface makes it a durable, sanitary option. While resistant to scratches, scuffs, dents, stains and burns, these surfaces are not damage-proof. Although very little maintenance is required for quartz surfaces, the following tips should be observed to keep them looking their best:- .

Clean with a mild detergent, water and a soft cloth or paper towel for everyday cleaning; engineered stone surfaces do not require polishing to keep them shiny and smooth, but they should be cleaned gently to maintain their distinctive shine.
Wipe up any spills immediately to prevent possible staining; it is always easier to wipe up a spill than to have to deal with a dried-on stain.
For deep cleaning, spray a generous amount of glass or surface cleanser (i.e. Cif Actifizz) over heavy stains, leave for 10 minutes and wipe away with a soft cloth or sponge.
Gently remove dried up food & liquids, dried paint or hardened grease with a rounded plastic knife or used credit card.
Remove grease & cooking stains with a cleanser only recommended by the manufacturer.
Use a chopping board to prevent scratches.
Use trivets or heating pads to guard against direct exposure to hot cookware, coffee pots etc.

DO NOT

Use abrasive cleansers, harsh scouring pads and cleansers that contain bleach or chlorine.
Use harsh cleansers to remove grease or other cooking stains, unless recommended by the manufacturer.
Expose to permanent inks, markers or dyes, as these substances may not be removable.
Expose to nail polish remover, turpentine, and other paint stripping products; these may damage or discolour a quartz surface.
Expose to any strong chemicals or solvents unless your manufacturer recommends them for use in removing stubborn stains or hardened grease.
Expose to direct heat.
Use metal knives and utensils directly on the countertop.
Stand or sit on your countertops.
