Our tips to keep your Quartz worktop looking brand new:
Quartz worktops are among the most durable and versatile options for any kitchen. Engineered with natural quartz combined with resin, they offer exceptional resistance to scratches, stains, and heat. The non-porous nature of quartz means it won’t absorb liquids, making it a hygienic and low-maintenance choice. However, even the toughest surfaces benefit from proper care to maintain their flawless appearance
Daily Cleaning Tips
Wipe Down Daily: Use a soft cloth or sponge with warm water and a mild detergent to clean the surface. Avoid harsh cleaners are unnecessary and can dull the finish over time.
Avoid Abrasive Tools: Steer clear of scouring pads or abrasive brushes that can scratch the surface.
Dry the Surface: To prevent water spots, always dry your worktop with a clean cloth after wiping it down.
Preventing Damage
Protect your worktops from heat like pressure cookers. Make sure to use trivets instead of placing the hot pans directly on the worktop. When chopping anything make sure to use a cutting board so you do not scratch it.
Unlike Granite Quartz does not need any scheduled maintenance as it does not need sealing.
Clean Spills Quickly: The non-porous nature of quartz prevents stains, but acidic substances like lemon juice or wine can damage the surface if left for extended periods. Wipe spills immediately.
Protect Against Heavy Impacts: Quartz is strong but not indestructible. Avoid dropping heavy items on the worktop, as this could chip the edges.
and finally unlike Granite Quartz does not need any scheduled maintenance as it does not need sealing.
Our tips to keep your Granite worktop looking brand new:
Seal Regularly: Granite is porous and needs sealing to protect against stains and moisture. Check if your worktop requires resealing every 1–2 years.
Use Gentle Cleaning Products: Stick to pH-neutral cleaners or mild soapy water. Avoid harsh chemicals, acidic cleaners, or abrasive tools that can degrade the sealant and scratch the surface. We would recommend using a cleaner specifically made to clean granite surfaces.
Wipe Spills Quickly: Liquids like wine, oil, or acidic substances can stain the surface if not cleaned up promptly.
Protect Against Heat and Scratches: While granite is heat-resistant, it’s still best to use trivets or heat mats to protect the sealant. Always use a chopping board instead of cutting directly on the surface to avoid marks.
