When it comes to contemporary countertop material, quartz stones top the chart.

 

Although an engineered stone, quartz stones are highly durable and resistant to scratch. This is why many homeowners are increasingly opting for quartz stone for all their countertop projects.

 

However, rough handling and use may easily tarnish your quartz slabs. For example, direct contact of very hot pots and pan on the quartz countertop could harm the surface, and so lose its shine.

 

Besides high temperatures, improper grinding of quartz slabs during the fabrication stage can tarnish the surface as well.

Below are some common methods for repairing tarnished quartz stone as a result of improper grinding.

 

1. Varnishing or waxing

Nevertheless, they can serve as a temporary relief for repairing tarnished quartz stone.

 

2. Through the use of Resin or Brightener

The use of resin or a brightening agent for repairing a tarnished quartz stone is another good way. This method can provide long term relief in the repair of tarnished quartz.

 

One important thing about the use of resin or brightener for treating a tarnished quartz stone is that it is irreversible.

There are various ways to fundamentally by-pass the problem of tarnishing. Top on the list include:

 

1. Sourcing quartz stone from a trusted and professional quartz stone supplier;

2. Routine maintenance by using water and common dish soap to wipe the surface. Avoid any abrasive cleaners or bleaches.
