Quartz Maintenance
TAKING CARE OF YOUR QUARTZ SURFACE
Common care for quartz involves periodic washing with clean water and a soft soap or natural stone cleaner. We recommend using Revitalizer by DuPont. Using a soap or cleaner, wash in small, overlapping sweeps. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all traces of soap or cleaner solution. Dry with a soft cloth and allow to thoroughly air dry. Your countertop is composed of non-porus materials that require no sealing to protect them
STUBBORN BLEMISHES
If you are unable to remove an adhered blemish there is a product named Bar Keepers Friend, this can be purchased at our sales room. We will advise how to use this product at the time of purchase.
HEAT TOLERANCE
Quartz surfaces can be damaged by sudden and rapid temperature changes. Therefore, we suggest that hot pots and pans never be directly placed on the surface. We also recommend a hot pad or trivet be placed on the surface under cooking units such as electric frying pans, crock pots, or roaster ovens.
SCRATCH RESISTANT
Your countertop is a highly scratch resistant surface; however can be scratched. Avoid abuse to the surface by refraining from using sharp objects directly onto the surface. Improper use can result in scratching.
CLEANING AGENTS TO AVOID
It’s important to be aware that like any other surface, your new quartz countertop can be permanently damaged if exposed to strong chemicals and solvents that can damage its physical properties. Never clean your surface with products that contain Trichlorethane or Methylene chloride, such as paint removers or strippers. Avoid the use of highly aggressive cleaning agents such as oven/grill cleaners and dishwasher polishing agents that have high alkaline/pH levels (pH 8.5 or higher). Products containing oils or powders may leave a residue and should be rinsed off thoroughly. Should your surface accidentally be exposed to any of these damaging products, rinse immediately with clean water to neutralize the effect.
