By following these care tips and regularly maintaining your quartz or granite countertops, you can keep them looking beautiful and extend their lifespan. Quartz and granite countertops are known for their low-maintenance nature, but it's important to take proper care of them to ensure their longevity and performance.
1. Clean regularly. Wipe surfaces with mild soap and water or a non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive pads.
2. Wipe up spills promptly. Clean up spills, especially acidic liquids (lemon juice, vinegar), to prevent staining or dulling.
3. Use cutting boards. Avoid cutting directly on the surface to prevent scratches.
4. Protect from heat. Always use trivets or hot pads for hot pots, pans, or appliances.
5. Seal granite periodically. Granite is porous and should be sealed according to manufacturer instructions to maintain stain resistance.
