Here are a few handy tips for maintaining your quartz countertops Today’s Quartz countertops are the pinnacle of design and functionality from polished ebony to quartz with a traditional Carrara marble appearance and exquisite veining. A countertop this magnificent would seem to need particular maintenance, yet such opulent appearances are deceptive! Quartz is incredibly resilient, but it still needs a little bit of care now and then—nothing too extravagant! Here is a brief explanation of maintaining quartz countertops in great shape. Avoid using household cleaning products You really don't need to use abrasive household cleaners to clean your standard or custom countertops because quartz requires so little care. Use a soft sponge or dishcloth dampened with light soap, such as dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry. Avoid sharp materials When it comes to preserving the quality of quartz material, this is a definite NO. Knives can be safely rested on counters, but you shouldn't remove dried materials or stains with them. To remove hardened objects from your countertop, go with a soft scraper. An oil-based solution ought to work if you ever need to get rid of especially difficult stains.
