How to Clean Quartz Countertops Properly Average

When it comes to getting a shiny, clean surface countertop, not all types of countertops are created equal. Caring for your quartz countertops is essential to maintaining their beauty for years to come. Fortunately, Classic Quartz surfaces are very easy to take care of! The first line of defense is cleaning your countertops on the regular. You can wipe them down with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Just be sure not to use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these will damage the finish. When you spill something, wipe it up immediately to avoid stains. Quartz resists stains, but better safe than sorry. 

Also, you should not rest hot utensils or cookware directly on the surface. Though quartz can withstand heat to a certain extent, use trivets or hot pads to shield the surface. This will help protect your counters and keep them looking like new. You may also want to consider using cutting boards when cooking. Despite how hard the quartz is, you can still scratch it, so I just advise using a cutting board. Even if you do see a little scratch, usually lacing it with a soft napkin will take care of that. 

When it comes to sealing your quartz countertops… don’t even think about it! Marble quartz comes pre-sealed unlike other materials, like granite and marble, you don’t have to reseal it every year. Still, you can never go wrong by checking with the company you purchased it from, namely Fotune. By taking a little bit care, like the tips above, your quartz countertops will remain great looking for patio to come. Don’t forget, Countertop care is EASY and makes your home FEEL good.
