GRANITE CARE & MAINTENANCE
Basic Cleaning & Care
To keep granite countertops clean, use a microfiber cloth to dust off the surface.
Often a microfiber cleaning cloth, even a dry one, is all that is needed for basic cleaning. For times when spills or daily life happen, try to wipe down the granite countertop daily or as needed using only water. Once a week wipe your granite countertops down with a damp cloth and a stone cleaner formulated with a neutral pH.
Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on your countertops, even if you think the stain or mess needs it. These types of cleaners can scratch, pit, and etch the surface of the stone permanently. For oily stains that have soaked into the granite, try a poultice made of a cup of flour or baking soda and five tablespoons of dish soap.
Add water to make it the consistency of sour cream or yogurt. Place the solution directly on the stain and cover with plastic wrap overnight, before washing away the poultice. Be sure to gently rinse the countertops and dry thoroughly.
Seasonal Maintenance
Sealing is a regular maintenance task for granite that cannot be ignored. There is a simple test that you can do to determine if your countertops need to be sealed again. Splash a little water on the surface of the countertop, and watch to see if the water sits on the countertop in small bead-like shapes or flows freely. Re-seal the countertop when water splashed on the surface no longer beads up. Be sure to perform this test on areas that get the most use.
QUARTZ CARE & MAINTENANCE
Basic Cleaning & Care
Quartz can be cleaned easily with a mid detergent, water and a soft cloth or paper towel, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Abrasive cleansers or harsh scouring pads and cleansers that contain bleach should not be used with quartz. Engineered stone cleaned gently to maintain their distinctive shine. Some quartz colors and finishes liked honed, matte, etc., are more sensitive to grease or finger-prints and may require extra care during routine cleaning.
Avoid using metal knives and utensils directly on the countertops, as matal may scratch the quartz. When chopping vegetables, slicing bread or preparing other food with sharp utensils, use a cutting board to prevent scratches.
To remove grease from your quartz countertops, use a product recommended for stone care. Harsh cleansers should not be used to remove grease or other cooking stains. Gently scrape away hardened grease with a plastic knife before applying cleaner.
Quartz countertops can be damaged by direct exposure to heat. It is not hear-proof. When cooking, use trivets or heating pads to guard the countertop surface against direct exposure to hot cookware or coffee pots.
