Caring for Quartzite Countertops

Quartzite is a natural stone that is formed in the earth through intense pressure and heat. quartzite is stronger against staining and scratching than marble, it is also heat resistant and can maintain its luster if not exposed to highly acidic solutions. If quartzite is maintained and cared for properly, its beauty will last. Be sure to seal often and clean with the correct products. Pitting, fissures, and dull spots/watermarks are a natural part of the stone and are unavoidable. These are not defects, but beautiful characteristics of natural stone.

Care and Maintenance of Quartzite

Do	Do Not
Wipe all crumbs and debris away with a dry cloth to avoid scratching	Do not use products that contain a high acidic content, like lemon, ammonia, vinegar, etc. The high acidic content can dull the finish, and eat away the sealer protecting your stone from stains.
Clean stone surface with a mild liquid dishwashing detergent or neutral PH cleaner with warm water and a soft cloth or sponge.	Do not use harsh chemicals like paint strippers, bleach, oven cleaners, or drain cleaners. These materials can break down your sealer.
Use natural stone cleaners on your surface as long as they are approved for natural stone.	Do not cut directly on your countertops. Always use a cutting board.
Wipe up excess water with a dry cloth to avoid streaking or a film on countertop	Do not be alarmed if your quartzite countertops darken when wet. The sealer is not a waterproof agent so stones will darken. They will return to their natural color when dry.
You may leave hot pots and pans on your quartzite countertop, but we do not recommend you do so for extended periods of time. Make sure to utilize a trivet as much as possible.	Do not drop heavy objects on your countertop as they may chip or break the stone.
Do be sure to re-seal your quartzite countertop annually.
