Virtually maintenance-free,
Quartz countertops are a hard, non-porous surfaces require no sealing to
renew the luster and are simple to clean. In most cases, soap and water or
a mild detergent is enough to keep your Quartz countertop looking like
new. If necessary, use a non-abrasive soft soap along with a non-scratch or
delicate scrub pad. Afterwards, thoroughly rinse with clean water to remove
residue.
Stubborn Stains or Dried Spills
If needed, apply a non-abrasive household cleaners (a non-abrasive cleaner
will not dull the surface shine) and rinse to remove residue. To remove
adhered material such as food, gum, nail polish or even dried paint, first
scrape away excess material with a plastic putty knife and then use a damp
cloth to remove any marks or residual dirt. For extra-stubborn stains, a
no-scratch Scotch-Brite® pad is recommended along with the non-abrasive
Cleaner.
Heat Tolerance
Quartz countertops are more heat resistant than other stone surfaces including most granite,
marble and limestone; and is not affected by temperatures lower than 150°C (300°F).
However, like all stone material, quartz countertops can be damaged by sudden and rapid
temperature changes. Therefore, we suggest that hot pots and pans never be directly
placed on the surface. We also recommend a hot pad or trivet be placed on the surface
under cooking units such as electric frying pans, crock pots, or roaster ovens.
Scratch Resistant
Quartz countertops are highly scratch resistant surface; however avoid abuse of the surface by
refraining from using sharp objects such as sharp knives or screw drivers directly onto the surface.
Cleaning Agents to Avoid
It’s important to be aware that like any other surface, Quartz countertops can be permanently
damaged if exposed to strong chemicals and solvents that can damage its physical properties.
Never clean your Quartz countertop surface with products that contain Trichlorethane or Methylene
chloride, such as paint removers or strippers. Avoid the use of highly aggressive cleaning agents
such as oven/grill cleaners and dishwasher polishing agents that have high alkaline/pH levels
(pH 8.5 or higher). Products containing oils or powders may leave a residue and should be rinsed
off thoroughly. Should your surface accidentally be exposed to any of these damaging products,
rinse immediately with clean
