Here are some expert tips on the best way to clean your quartz countertop:
- Start by wiping the surface with a soft, damp cloth or soft sponge. This will remove any loose debris or spills on the surface.
- For everyday routine cleaning, use a mild dish soap or a pH-balanced cleaner specifically formulated for quartz. Make sure to dilute the cleaner according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Gently scrub the countertop using a non-abrasive sponge or soft-bristle brush. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or scrub brushes as they can scratch the surface of the quartz.
- Rinse the countertop thoroughly with clean water to remove any residue from the cleaning solution. It’s important to remove all traces of the cleaner to prevent any buildup on the surface.
- Dry the countertop with a soft cloth or towel to prevent water spots and streaks from forming. Make sure to dry any seams or edges as well.
- For tough stains or dried spills, use a gentle cleaner specifically designed for quartz countertops. Apply the cleaner to the stain and let it sit for a few minutes before scrubbing gently with a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse and dry as usual.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals such as bleach, abrasive cleaners, or products that contain ammonia or vinegar, as they can damage the quartz surface and cause it to become dull.
