Care and Maintenance of Quartz Countertops
Natural quartz countertops are the toughest interior surface available on the market. It resists scratching, staining and scorching better than any other natural stone or solid surface. Do avoid excessive force or pressure because that may mar or chip the surface. Don't worry about spills from coffee, wine, lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, makeup, and many other common household products; just avoid harsh chemicals. And don't worry about dropping a lit match onto your quartz countertop; it won't scorch. But, use trivets when placing any hot items to avoid thermal shock.
For cleaning Quartz countertops with a polished finish, we recommend you use a mild household cleaner, such as 409. In case of stubborn spills or stains, soak the area for up to 10 minutes with one of these cleaners and vigorously wipe away with a Scotch Brite® pad.
CAUTIONThe following will harm Quartz Surfaces: Drano, Liquid Plumr, oven cleaners and floor strippers. Do NOT use these or any other harsh chemicals on your quartz surface.
Do NOT use crock pots or electric skillets while in direct contact with your Quartz surfaces. Always place them on a trivet or cutting board to protect your countertop.
As with any natural stone, certain exposure to heat may cause cracks due to thermal shock.
