Installation & Modifications

<h2>Quartz &amp; Granite Countertop Care and Maintenance Guide</h2><p><strong>By SJL Rock Solid Solutions</strong></p><p> <em>Your Happiness Is Our Pleasure</em></p><h3>🧼 Daily Cleaning</h3><p><strong>Quartz:</strong></p><p> Use a mild dish soap and warm water with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh cleaners.</p><p><strong>Granite:</strong></p><p> Clean with a pH-balanced stone cleaner or mild dish soap. Wipe with a soft cloth to prevent streaking.</p><h3>🔒 Sealing</h3><p><strong>Quartz:</strong></p><p> No sealing is necessary. Quartz is non-porous and engineered to resist staining and bacteria.</p><p><strong>Granite:</strong></p><p> Granite is porous and should be sealed every 1–2 years. Test it by sprinkling water—if it darkens, it's time to reseal.</p><h3>🚫 Stain &amp; Spill Prevention</h3><ul><li>Clean spills promptly, especially acidic or oily liquids like wine, vinegar, coffee, lemon juice, and cooking oil.</li><li>Do not allow water to sit for extended periods—especially on granite.</li></ul><h3>🔥 Heat Protection</h3><ul><li><strong>Do not place hot pans directly on the surface.</strong></li><li> Always use trivets or hot pads under cookware, crockpots, or hot trays.</li><li>Sudden temperature changes can cause cracking (especially in quartz).</li></ul><h3>✂️ Scratch Prevention</h3><ul><li>Always use a cutting board.</li><li> Quartz and granite can scratch or dull your knives.</li><li>Don’t drag pots or appliances across the countertop.</li></ul><h3>⚠️ What to Avoid</h3><ul><li><strong>Never use:</strong></li><li class="ql-indent-1">Bleach, ammonia, or acidic cleaners</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Oven cleaners or paint removers</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Scouring pads or steel wool</li><li><strong>Don’t:</strong></li><li class="ql-indent-1">Stand or sit on the countertop</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Use the surface as a workbench or for heavy impact tasks</li></ul><h3>🧽 Routine Maintenance Tips</h3><ul><li>Use coasters for glasses—especially those containing alcohol or citrus.</li><li>Monthly deep cleaning: Use a stone-safe cleaner or a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water.</li><li>For stuck-on materials: Use a plastic putty knife to gently remove without scratching.</li></ul><p> Your countertops are an investment—let’s help you protect them for years to come.</p><p><br></p>
