Caring for Quartz Countertops and Vanities
Quartz countertops are composed of 93% natural quartz and 7% polymer material selected by each manufacturer. Due to this man-made process, quartz countertops are non-porous so you do not need to seal your quartz like you do with a natural stone. One of the biggest advantages of quartz is it’s a low-maintenance material to take care of. As a result of its composition, quartz countertops are susceptible to color changes when exposed to direct sunlight and are not recommended for outdoor applications where there is a significant amount of direct sunlight.
Care and Maintenance of Quartz
Do
- Wipe crumbs with a dry cloth to avoid scratching
- Clean with mild dish soap or neutral pH cleaner, warm water, and a soft cloth
- Dry excess water to avoid streaks or film
- Use trivets for hot pots, pans, crock-pots, and air fryers
- Always use a cutting board; don’t cut on the surface
- For Further Cleaning Instructions Please Visit the Manufacturer’s Website
Do Not
- Avoid high-acid products (lemon, ammonia, vinegar) to prevent dulling
- Keep harsh chemicals (paint strippers, bleach, oven/drain cleaners) away
- Skip abrasive cleaners; use Bar Keeper’s Friend for tough spots
- Don’t drop heavy objects; they can chip or break the stone
