How to Care for Your Quartz Countertops

To care for quartz countertops, clean spills promptly using a soft cloth and a mild, pH-neutral cleaner like dish soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, or acidic cleaners such as vinegar, as they can damage the resin and dull the finish. Always use trivets for hot pots and pans and cutting boards for sharp knives to prevent heat and scratch damage.

Daily Cleaning

• Wipe spills immediately: Don’t let spills sit, even though quartz is non-porous.
• Use soap and water: For daily cleaning, use a soft cloth or sponge with warm water and a drop of mild, pH-neutral dish soap.
• Rinse and dry: After cleaning, rinse the surface with clean water and dry it with a microfiber cloth to prevent streaks.

What to Avoid

• Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach, oven cleaners, acidic cleaners (like vinegar), or alkaline products.
• Abrasive Tools: Avoid abrasive scrubbers and steel wool, which can scratch or dull the surface.
• Extreme Heat: Always use a trivet or hot pad under hot pots and pans directly from the stove or oven to prevent heat damage.
• Excessive Pressure: Avoid placing heavy objects near the edges, as corners are vulnerable to chipping.

Important Tips

• No Sealing Needed: Quartz is non-porous, so it does not require sealing.
• Use a Cutting Board: Always use a cutting board to prevent scratches from knives.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause quartz
