- Hits: 1848
Quartz countertops are a popular choice for kitchens because of their durability, low maintenance, and resistance to stains and scratches. However, like any other surface in your kitchen, it still requires proper care to keep it looking its best. Here are ten tips to help you take care of your kitchen quartz countertop:
1.
Clean up spills immediately: Spills can stain quartz countertops, so it’s essential to wipe them up as soon as they occur. Use a soft, damp cloth to clean up spills, and avoid using abrasive cleaners.
2.
Avoid cutting directly on the surface: Use a cutting board to protect your quartz countertop from scratches and knife marks.
3.
Use coasters and trivets: Place coasters under drinks to prevent water rings, and use trivets to protect the surface from hot pots and pans.
4.
Avoid harsh chemicals: Quartz countertops are durable, but harsh chemicals like bleach and oven cleaner can damage the surface. Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner instead.
5.
Wipe down the surface regularly: Wipe down your quartz countertop daily with a soft, damp cloth to keep it looking its best.
6.
Avoid excessive heat: Don’t place hot pots and pans directly on the surface, as excessive heat can cause damage. Use trivets to protect the surface.
7.
Don’t use abrasive sponges: Abrasive sponges can scratch the surface of your quartz countertop, so use a soft, non-abrasive cloth instead.
8.
Don’t stand on the surface: Standing on the surface can cause cracks and damage, so avoid it.
9.
Don’t place heavy objects on the surface: Heavy objects can cause cracks and damage, so avoid placing them directly on the surface.
10.
Sealing the surface: Quartz countertops don’t need to be sealed, but sealing can help protect the surface from stains and spills. Talk to your manufacturer for recommendations on sealing products.
By following these simple tips, you can keep your kitchen quartz countertop looking its best for years to come. If you have any questions or concerns about your quartz countertop, us at Venezia Surfaces for guidance.
