How to Care for Quartz Countertops

If you just finished installing quartz countertops in your Eagan home, then you might be researching the best ways to keep them clean and looking as good as new. Universal Stone can help with the fabrication and installation process, so we thought we would also offer some help on how to care for these lovely stone countertops after the installation process is complete.

After you are done installing quartz countertops, the only daily cleaning you have to do is with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild soap if you want to. This is the only type of cleaning that is needed on a daily basis.

There are a few things you should not do after installing quartz countertops too. For instance, always use a hot pad or trivet under hot pots and pans. While quartz counters are heat and burn resistant, they should still be protected when you place something hot on them. 

We also recommend that you do not chop vegetables and other food items directly on your new quartz countertops. Be sure to use a cutting board. While it is tough to scratch or chip your new counters, you should still take the necessary steps to ensure this does not happen.

But one of the best parts about installing quartz countertops is that you do not need to put a special sealant or wax on them. Quartz does not need to be resealed, and they will maintain their shiny surface as long as you do not use any harmful cleaners on them. Bleach should be avoided. And if you end up getting gum, paint or food on your quartz countertops, just use a plastic putty knife and scrape the material off of your counters.
