The Quality of Quartz

Quartz works well for kitchen countertops, island tops, backsplashes, etc.  Over the past several years, there have been many advances made in the production of quartz for kitchen applications as well as the increase in colors available.

Quartz doesn’t need to be sealed like other kitchen countertop materials yet it is extremely resistant to scratching and staining.  This makes quartz an ideal choice for kitchen countertops.

Quartz is available in slab and tile format.  Look at all the color choices available to you and then choose the perfect quartz for your kitchen remodeling project.

Kitchen countertops of quartz have become increasing popular because of their scratch resistance and non-porous quality.  Keep these tips in mind to maintain your quartz countertop:

1.    Warm, soapy water will do the trick most every time.  Clean your quartz top with warm, soapy water and a sponge or non-abrasive cloth.

2.    For tough spots, use an all purpose cleaner.  The label on the bottle should indicate if it is appropriate for quartz.  Again, use a soft sponge or cloth.

3.    After cleaning with soap or all purpose cleaner, go back over the top with plain water.  This will remove any residue left behind.

4.    To eliminate streaks or smudges, dry the countertop with a soft cloth.

You’ll be hard pressed to find a countertop easier to maintain than quartz.  Follow the cleaning tips above or those recommended by your manufacturer to keep your new quartz countertop clean and beautiful.
