Quartz Stone Care Guide
Quartz is a durable and low-maintenance surface, making it a popular choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and other high-use areas. This guide will walk you through the best cleaning practices, recommended products, and essential maintenance tips to keep your quartz surfaces looking their best.
Tips for Maintaining Quartz
Clean Up Spills Immediately
Even though quartz is non-porous and resistant to staining, certain liquids such as wine, coffee, and acidic substances can cause discolouration if left unattended. Wipe up spills immediately using a soft cloth and mild detergent to maintain the surface's original colour and shine.
Use the Right Cleaners
For the best results, use a cleaner specifically formulated for quartz, such as pH-neutral stone cleaners. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach, oven cleaners, or highly acidic solutions, as they can break down the resin and dull the finish.
Protect Quartz from Heat and Scratches
Quartz is heat-resistant but not heatproof. Always use trivets or heat pads for hot cookware to prevent thermal shock. Additionally, avoid cutting directly on the surface—use a cutting board to prevent scratches.
Directions for Cleaning Quartz
-
Spray a quartz-safe cleaner or warm, soapy water onto the surface.
-
Let the cleaner sit for a few seconds to break down dirt and grime.
-
Wipe in a circular motion with a clean, dry microfibre cloth until the surface is streak-free and polished.
