Daily Cleaning Routine

Quartz stone does not have any pores hence; it does not absorb liquids, and therefore it is not stained. To keep your quartz surfaces looking new, you should clean them daily. — Once cleaning is done, clean the surface with a dry microfiber cloth to enhance the shine of the surface. It is recommended not to use such materials as abrasive sponges because they can harm the stone surface.

Handling Spills

However, the use of quartz is stain resistant, it is always preferable to wipe the surface clean if a spillage occurs. Some substances such as wine, coffee or oil tend to stain if left for a long period. Just wipe off the spill with a soft cloth and then wipe the area with warm soapy water. If you still see the stain, you can use water and vinegar mixture, or any mild cleaning solution that won’t damage the material. To achieve the best results, do not use hard chemicals as they may scratch the quartz surface.

Removal of Some Common and Stubborn Stains

For stubborn stains like food particles, you may need to do a lot of rubbing to get it off. In such cases, a plastic scraper can be used to chisel the material without causing any harm to the quartz. After doing that, just clean the area with a damp cloth and a few drops of dish soap. To clean even deeper, it is recommended to take a paste which is made of water and baking soda. Rub this paste on the affected region and let it stay for some time before washing it off with warm water and a sponge.

Heat and Harsh Chemicals: Things To Avoid

Quartz stone is generally heat-resistant but it is not heat-proof. Laying hot pans or pots directly on it may cause cracks or discoloration. To protect your quartz countertops, always use trivets or heat-resistant mats. Also, do not use bleach, strong acids, or alkaline cleaners as they destroy the resin that holds the quartz crystals together. The best bet is to use cleaners that are pH neutral or gentle products such as dish soap or a vinegar-water solution.

Polishing Your Quartz Stone

Quartz stone is very easy to maintain and does not require frequent polishing to still look shiny and new. It is possible to clean it up quickly with a stone polish or a solution of water and a couple of drops of dishwashing liquid. Rinse the surface then wipe it with a microfiber cloth in circular motion to give your quartz a brand new look. Polishing also doesn’t only give the stone a shiny finish but also keeps the surface protected in the best way possible.
