Quartz – strong, durable and
pleasingly effortless to care for.
Caring for your quartz
Quartz is durable and built to last, yet there are a few simple things to keep in mind to prevent damage to your work surfaces and ensure they remain in great condition.
Always use a cutting board
Although all quartz surfaces are scratch resistant, you should always avoid contact with a sharp object.
All cutting and food preparation should be done on a suitable board to protect the surface.
Use trivets and mats under hot pans
To protect your surfaces from damage from extreme heat impact, always use a trivet or mat under hot pans.
Avoid using abrasive pads and scourers
Since quartz is a sleek surface, using a soft cloth might not be enough to remove every spill.
If you are dealing with a dried-on build-up, you can remove it by carefully using a gentle scouring pad (non-scratch) to agitate the mess.
Avoid dropping objects on the surface
Be careful when carrying heavy objects near your surfaces.
Whilst quartz is a durable material, any sudden impact on the edges of the counters can cause chips or cracks.
Use a bleach-free degreasing cleaner
To eliminate grease, choose a degreasing cleaning spray that does not contain bleach.
Spray your quartz surface with your chosen cleaner, then simply wipe it away with a damp cloth. Follow this by wiping over the area with a mild soap and water mixture, then rinse.
Routine daily care
Whilst quartz is a non-porous material, care
should be taken to protect the polished surface
and keep your surfaces in top condition.
As a general rule, quartz surfaces should be
treated like any other worksurface.
For day-to-day cleaning, simply use a mild dish
washing liquid along with a soft dishcloth or
damp sponge. Once you’ve finished wiping the
surface down, rinse thoroughly, to avoid a
build-up of soap.
It is not advisable to use harsh chemical
cleaners on quartz surfaces. Some cleaners may
cause a reaction with the resins, which could
etch the surface.
Special cleaning
instructions
Even though quartz has a non-porous surface,
some spills might be too much for your
day-to-day cleaning routine.
The best cleaner for larger spills is mild liquid
dish soap. If you are dealing with a dried,
caked-on mess, allow the soap and water to
penetrate by letting it sit for a few minutes. This
will help you safely remove dirt and grime.
If still unsuccessful, we recommend using warm
water and a mild detergent, or a bleach-free
cleaning spray.
