A quartz countertop consists of crushed quartz stones, pigment and resin. These popular blades resemble granite, have a natural shine and do not require polishing. You have to take good care of them so that they don't lose their shine. But they are less likely to be damaged than other types of countertops, such as plastic ones. To take good care of your quartz countertop, use a non-abrasive detergent, avoid excessive force, and avoid rapid temperature changes.

To step

Method 1 of 3: Daily cleaning of your countertop

  1. Clean your worktop with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Preferably clean your counter top every day with warm water and a cleaning agent. A sweetened leaf should be wiped even more often.
    • With a honed surface, traces of use, such as fingerprints, are more visible.
  2. Do not use blades directly on the quartz blade. Use a cutting board if you want to cut or chop. Quartz is very resistant to scratches, but it can be damaged by very sharp objects.
    • If you use a cutting board, your knives will also be less blunt.
  3. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. Don't clean your countertop with very acidic or alkaline cleaners. If these substances do get on your countertop, clean it immediately with a mild detergent. Then rinse it off with water.
    • For example, do not use nail polish remover, turpentine, oven cleaner, bleach, sink unblocker, and products with trichlorethane or methylene chloride on your worktop.
  4. Don't put too much force on your work surface. Do not drop heavy objects on the countertop. Carefully transport the blade if ever necessary. Too much force can break the counter top.
    • Failure to observe this warning may void your warranty.

Tips

  • Often you have a factory warranty of 10 years or more on a quartz worktop. This warranty may expire if you do not comply with certain warnings, for example by using an abrasive.
