How to Clean Quartz Countertops Stains?

Quartz possesses the characteristics of bright colors, rich patterns, structural durabilities, and simple maintenance. So the kitchen countertop that makes with quartz stone is highly recommended by consumers. Although quartz is an advanced material, it only requires easy wipes to keep it clean after installation. Apart from understanding the ways and tools to clean quartz countertops, you also have to find out which methods and tools are not available. It is suggested to use a soft cloth or sponges with some mild cleaner to wipe the surface of the quartz countertop every day. What’s more, do not apply any rough cleaning tools and corrosive cleaners to avoid damaging the sealing layer on the surface of quartz countertops.

For Common Stains & Spills

Soak the cleaning cloth in the combined solution of cleaner and warm water. Advisably, use a mild detergent instead of the complex one to clean the quartz countertop. In general, you’d better utilize a moderate cleaner without astringents or corrosive chemical components. That’s because quartz stone will be destroyed by repeatedly contacting with these substances. The resin sealing layer on the surface of the quartz countertop plays an important role. It can prevent daily dust, dirt, stains, and mildew from harming the countertop.

Warm water is more efficient at dissolving all kinds of stubborn stains than cold water.
