Instant and easy guide for quartz kitchen worktops maintenance

Quartz kitchen worktops are the primary choice for those who own a modern kitchen. This is because quartz is durable, has a non-porous surface, and appears very elegant. Another feature of this material that attracts more sales is that the material demands are very low and, at the same time, very easy to maintain.

However, it is essential to maintain it properly for better life expectancy and better performance of quartz kitchen worktops. This guide will be a good source of information for those using quartz as a worktop for the first time.

Given below are some simple tips to follow for the right maintenance of quartz worktops for kitchens

• Daily Wiping

The surface of the worktop has to be cleaned daily, either with a soft microfiber cloth or sponge.

• Immediate spill removal

Remove any liquid spill on the surface. It should be wiped off to avoid spots or stain leftovers on the surface.

• Mild detergent usage

One should always use a non-abrasive pH-balanced detergent for cleaning purposes.

• Avoid direct contact with heat

Before placing any hot pots or pans on the surface, one should arrange for heat-resistant mats or trivets.

• Use cutting boards

Quartz kitchen worktops are scratch-resistant but not totally scratchproof. So, to prevent scratches, one should always avoid chopping directly on the surface.

• Protect against UV ray exposure

It is very important to protect the quartz worktop surface against UV ray exposure. UV ray exposure may lead the worktop surface to discolouration.

• Avoid the use of harsh chemicals

The use of chemicals containing cleaners has to be avoided. This is because chemicals containing cleaners may lead to a seriously damaged worktop surface.

• Specialized Quartz Cleaner

If you use a dedicated quartz cleaner, it will further improve the shine of the worktop surface and will bring in a more promising look for your property.

• Buff on the surface

Only proper cleaning of the quartz worktops will not be enough, but one will also have to use a dry microfiber cloth to buff the surface.

• Minor Damage Repair

It is true that quartz worktops are known for their strong durability, but certain minor damages are unavoidable. Such damages should be repaired with the help of a specialized quartz repair kit. However, if the damage is major, then you should always seek professional assistance.
