Timing Is Everything!

The faster you remove any spills, the better it is for the longevity and appearance of your surfaces. Something you need to keep a close eye on is the acidity or alkalinity of the substances that may come into contact with your countertops. For instance, items such as wine, vinegar, lemon juice, and various tarty fruits and vegetables contain acids that can seep into the material. Granted, while these acids do not dull quartz surfaces in the same way they can damage marble, it is always best to take precautions to avoid any potential issues.

To effectively manage fresh spills, use a mild dish detergent mixed with warm water to quickly wipe up the mess. If the spills have dried and set, then you can utilize the power of glass cleaner, along with a non-abrasive sponge and some elbow grease, to rub it out thoroughly. Remember, quartz is still susceptible to staining, so it’s important to act quickly. If your food has congealed and hardened, or if you are dealing with substances like gum, nail polish, or paint, then use a plastic putty knife to gently scrape it off without damaging the surface. For a thorough clean, at regular intervals, use a non-abrasive surface cleaner and allow it to rest before removing it with a non-abrasive sponge for optimal results.

Avoid the following:

• Extreme cleaners and abrasive surfaces – quartz can take a diluted acidic or alkaline cleaner but oven cleaners (pH 1) can separate the bonds between quartz stone and resin.

• Extreme heat – Trust me, scorch marks or cracks from hot surfaces is your worst nightmare. Save yourself the trouble and use trivets and hot pads.

• Cutting on the counter – I shouldn't even have to say this, but it bears repeating. Practice your julienning on a cutting board. Spare your countertop.

• The great outdoors – Here's the thing. The resin in quartz is plastic, and when exposed to UV rays from sunlight, your countertop will fade, or worse, warp and split.
