🧼 Daily Cleaning

Quartz:

Use a mild dish soap and warm water with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh cleaners.

Granite:

Clean with a pH-balanced stone cleaner or mild dish soap. Wipe with a soft cloth to prevent streaking.

🔒 Sealing

Quartz:

No sealing is necessary. Quartz is non-porous and engineered to resist staining and bacteria.

Granite:

Granite is porous and should be sealed every 1–2 years. Test it by sprinkling water—if it darkens, it's time to reseal.

🚫 Stain & Spill Prevention

• Clean spills promptly, especially acidic or oily liquids like wine, vinegar, coffee, lemon juice, and cooking oil.
• Do not allow water to sit for extended periods—especially on granite.

🔥 Heat Protection

• Do not place hot pans directly on the surface.
• Always use trivets or hot pads under cookware, crockpots, or hot trays.
• Sudden temperature changes can cause cracking (especially in quartz).

✂️ Scratch Prevention

• Always use a cutting board.
• Quartz and granite can scratch or dull your knives.
• Don’t drag pots or appliances across the countertop.

⚠️ What to Avoid

• Never use:
• Bleach, ammonia, or acidic cleaners
• Oven cleaners or paint removers
• Scouring pads or steel wool
• Don’t:
• Stand or sit on the countertop
• Use the surface as a workbench or for heavy impact tasks

🧽 Routine Maintenance Tips

• Use coasters for glasses—especially those containing alcohol or citrus.
• Monthly deep cleaning: Use a stone-safe cleaner or a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water.
• For stuck-on materials: Use a plastic putty knife to gently remove without scratching.

Your countertops are an investment—let’s help you protect them for years to come.
