Quartz countertops are modern and hassle-free alternatives to granite and marble. They are more durable than most natural stones but still require some TLC for best results.
For Daily Cleaning
Keeping your quartz counter clean is the key to maintaining its shine and beauty.
For general cleaning, wipe it up using a soft, clean cloth after every use. If you have spills and drips, blot them with a paper towel and wipe them off afterward.
Step 1
Start by clearing dishes or small appliances from the top of your quartz counter.
Step 2
Step 3
If there are stuck dirt and grime, gently scrape them off with a putty knife. Be careful when doing so, so it doesn’t scratch your quartz’s surface.
Step 4
Wipe off the surface with a specially-formulated stone cleaner on your countertop. Don’t use soapy water as it dulls the stone’s shine. Also, keep your counter away from generic cleaning products as they can damage your quartz counter.
Step 5
For General Maintenance
- Wipe up your countertop after every use.
- Avoid placing hot pots or pans directly onto your quartz counter.
- Use only a clean cloth or paper towel. Never use steel wool, etc.
- Always use cutting boards. Never cut directly on your counter.
- Use only a specially-formulated stone cleaner, not soapy water.
