Summary
Quartz worktops are durable, stylish, and low-maintenance, but proper care is essential to keep them looking their best. Regular cleaning, avoiding harsh chemicals, protecting from heat, and checking for damage will ensure your white, black, or grey quartz worktop remains pristine for years.
How to Maintain and Care for Your Quartz Worktop
Quartz worktops are a popular choice for modern kitchens and bathrooms, offering both elegance and resilience. While quartz is non-porous and highly durable, taking the right precautions ensures long-lasting beauty and functionality.
Follow these expert tips to keep your black, grey, or white quartz worktop in perfect condition.
1. Daily Cleaning for a Spotless Finish
✔ Use a soft cloth or sponge with warm, soapy water
✔ Gently wipe the surface to remove dirt and spills
✔ Avoid abrasive pads or brushes that may cause scratches
2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Quartz is stain-resistant, but strong chemicals can damage the surface over time.
? Do not use bleach, ammonia, or acidic cleaners
✔ Opt for a pH-balanced quartz cleaner
3. Clean Spills Quickly
Although quartz is non-porous, it’s still a good practice to wipe spills immediately, especially:
✔ Coffee, wine, and juice – Prevents potential staining
✔ Oily substances – Avoids residue buildup
4. Protect from Heat Damage
Quartz can withstand moderate heat, but direct contact with hot pans or appliances may cause damage.
✔ Always use heat-resistant mats, trivets, or coasters
5. Avoid Cutting Directly on the Surface
✔ Use a cutting board to prevent scratches and dulling of knives
✔ Quartz is tough but not scratch-proof
6. Prevent Heavy Impact Damage
✔ Avoid dropping heavy items, especially on edges and corners
✔ Quartz is strong but can chip if subjected to force
7. Use Gentle Products for Deep Cleaning
✔ For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth
✔ Avoid scrapers or sharp tools that could scratch the surface
8. Regularly Check for Damage
✔ Inspect your white, grey, or black quartz worktop for chips or cracks
✔ Address minor issues early to prevent costly repairs later
