Quartz countertop care and maintenance

Care and Maintenance for Quartz

Many people today choose a Quartz counter surface because it is a non-porous material that is resistant to scratching, heat, and stain.   It does require some maintenance and it will scratch, burn and stain when it is not protected from harsh environments. To maintain the beauty of your stone, please use the following precautions with your counter tops:

·         Place hot pad and Trivets under items removed from your stove top or oven

·         Use cutting boards when working with knives and sharp tools.

·         Avoid dropping heavy items on the counter top surface

·         Do not use harsh chemicals, powders or abrasives like: bleach, oil soaps, oven cleaners, furniture cleaners, comet, and oil based products.  The best way to maintain your surface is to clean it with soap and water on a regular basis.  Non-abrasive cleaners are recommended.

·         Avoid using permanent markers, dyes, stains, paint thinner, strippers and chemicals with high alkaline/ PH levels.

Recommended cleaners for Quartz include:

·         Soap and Water

·         Magic Eraser by Mr. Clean

·         Simple Green

·         10 X Stone Polish

·         Denatured Alcohol

·         Rock Doctor cleaner

·         Hopes Surface Cleaner

To remove substances like gum, paint or tape use a plastic putty knife with soap /water and  gently scrape the counter top. If you have any questions, contact Kurt at 612-644-8779 or check us out on the web at www.brflooring.biz.
