How To Maintain Quartz Countertop Surface

3 Wise Maintenance Tips for Your Quartz Kitchen Surface

Any color of Quartz countertops from KA UNITED STONE is highly durable and resistant to scratches, moisture, and impacts. They are made with ground quartz - one of the most complex materials in nature - for a tough, non-porous surface that is hardwearing and easy to clean. Below are 3 wise tips to help you maintain the quartz countertop surface, and keep it long services.

1-Use only soft tools and cleaners without abrasive ingredients

Quartz stone is not indestructible, even though it is wear-resistant and resistant to scratching. Rough things are enough to leave lasting scratches on the softer resin layer and the stone beneath. Similarly, powerful chemicals like bleach and oven cleansers can cause quartz stone cooking tables to blister, discolor, or stain. As a precaution, only use mild, non-toxic white vinegar or other liquid cleansers to clean quartzite cooking tables. To scrub quartzite countertops, never use wire balls, sandpaper, pumice stones, or harsh bristle brushes. When cooking, use a separate chopping board to avoid accidentally scratching the counter.

2-do is not let the quartz stone surface in high temperature

Quartz stone is not resistant to high heat. When removing containers from the oven, place a heat-insulating mat or heat-insulating rack on the cooking table before placing the containers on it. Pots and pans that are boiling should be put on the stovetop, not on the cooking surface. Most quartz stone cooking tables can only sustain temperatures ranging from 150 to 200 degrees Celsius. If the temperature rises over this level, the cooking table top will shatter severely. Household equipment that generates a lot of heat while in use, such as toast ovens or metal-cased rice cookers, should be avoided on the quartz cooking table.

3-quartz stone countertops can only be used indoors

Quartz stone fading or cracking is easily caused by constant sunshine, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. As a result, quartz stone is more suited for usage as kitchen or bathroom sink countertops. Furthermore, quartzite countertops placed outside can quickly accumulate dust and debris, necessitating more frequent cleaning. Outdoor furniture should be made of stainless steel, aluminum, synthetic plastic, and water-resistant woods like teak and cedar. If you decide to use quartzite for outdoor furniture counters (such as a poolside bar or a patio kitchen cooking table), make sure to install an awning or cover the furniture with a cloth to protect it from UV rays and rain.

KA UNITED's quartz stone slabs are usually available in a wide range of shades, grain patterns, and styles, from which you can choose the most suitable one for your kitchen countertop.
