Care & maintenance

Quartz is an investment in your home or office that will give you many years of beautiful service. Quartz is a main-made product and care and maintenance will keep it looking beautiful. 

General Cleaning

For daily maintenance of your quartz countertops, mild soap/detergent and water is recommended. Care should be taken to make sure that the detergent is non-abrasive. We suggest that you use a mild liquid dishwashing detergent and water or a stone soap. To maintain quartz surface, it is recommended that you do not use a lot of soap to avoid leave a soapy film on the surface. It is always best to thoroughly rinse and dry the surface after washing. 

Spills and Stains

Blot the spill with a paper towel immediately. Don't wipe the area because it will spread the spill. Flush the area with mild soap and water then rinse. Dry the area thoroughly with a soft cloth. Repeat as necessary. However, if a stain does persist please see the section below regarding stain removal. A honed or brushed surface will stain much faster than a polished surface and must be sealed more frequently. 

Difficult Spot Removal

Difficult spots may be treated with a gently liquid cleaner like Bar Keepers Friend ™ . Scrub with a soft cloth, or a "White Scotch Brite ™ " and always rinse thoroughly. Never use a red or green Scotch Brite ™  on quartz as they contain aluminum oxide (the same abrasive in sandpaper) and may dull Quartz finish. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents such as Comet ™  and Ajax ™ . 

Caution

To protect countertop surface, use coasters, trivets or place mats. Always use a trivet or hot pad between quartz and any heat generating devices including but not limited to crock pots, deep fryers, hot pans or electric skillets. Sudden or rapid change of temperature or sustained heating, especially near edges and cut outs, may create enough thermal expansion energy to cause your countertop to crack. Damage caused by thermal expansion is not covered by a manufacturer'rs warranty. 

Avoid using vinegar, lemon juice, or other citric juices directly on the surface of the stone. 

Avoid using cleaners that contain acids such as bathroom cleaners, grout cleaners, and tub and tile cleaners. Avoid using abrasive cleaners such as dry cleansers or soft cleansers. If you have a honed or brushed material, be aware that this may stain faster than polished material.

Cover the stain with a clear plastic wrap, tightly sealing the edges with tape to lock in the air. After allowing this to sit for a couple of days, the poultice will draw the stain out of the stone surface.
