The Ultimate Guide to Care & Maintenance For Quartz Benchtop

Maintaining your quartz benchtop is simple and easy.

Quartz Goes The Distance​

Quartz benchtops have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their durability, low maintenance, and variety of colors and designs. As a leading provider of high-quality quartz surfaces, Quattro Stone is committed to helping you get the most out of your investment. In this guide, we’ll discuss the essential care and maintenance tips for your quartz benchtops to ensure they stay looking their best for years to come.

Every Day Quartz Benchtop Cleaning

One of the main advantages of quartz benchtops is their low maintenance requirements. For everyday cleaning, all you need is a gentle dishwashing liquid and water. Simply mix a few drops of dishwashing liquid with water and use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe down the surface.

Afterward, rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.

Stain Prevention & Removal

Quartz benchtops are non-porous, which makes them resistant to stains. However, it’s still essential to clean up spills promptly, especially when dealing with acidic or oil-based substances. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth to gently scrub the area. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the surface of your quartz benchtop.

Heat Resistance & Protection

While quartz is resistant to heat, prolonged exposure to high temperatures can cause damage. Always use trivets or heat pads when placing hot pots and pans on your quartz benchtop to prevent thermal shock or discoloration. It’s also a good idea to avoid placing heated appliances such as slow cookers directly on the surface.

Avoiding Scratches & Chips

Quartz is a highly durable material, but it’s still essential to take precautions to prevent scratches and chips. Use cutting boards when slicing or chopping food, and avoid dragging heavy objects across the surface. If you do notice a scratch or chip, contact a professional to assess the damage and provide a suitable repair solution.

No Sealing Required​

One of the key benefits of quartz benchtops is that they don’t require sealing. Unlike granite and marble, which need regular sealing to maintain their appearance and functionality, quartz is virtually maintenance-free. This means you can enjoy your beautiful benchtop without the hassle of additional upkeep.

Long-Term Durability​

With proper care and maintenance, your quartz benchtop will maintain its stunning appearance and performance for years to come. By following these simple tips, you can ensure that your investment in a high-quality Quattro Stone quartz benchtop will go the distance.
