Today, we’ll be going over how to properly clean your quartzite countertop so you can get as much enjoyment from it as possible.
Quartzite countertops are great investments for homeowners. They offer a high level of durability and heat resistance, all without sacrificing anything in terms of aesthetic appeal. To keep these countertops in top condition, however, it’s important to keep them clean. Today, we’ll be going over how to properly clean your quartzite countertop so you can get as much enjoyment from it as possible.
Stick to Less Abrasive Cleaning Materials
When cleaning a quartzite countertop, you have to be careful about the cleaning materials you choose. Some materials can be too abrasive, causing you to damage the surface of the countertop.
For this reason, we recommend sticking to cleaning materials that are softer and less abrasive. Sponges and soft cloths should be acceptable for cleaning any quartzite countertop you have. Your cleaning technique should also be gentle.
Use pH-Balanced Cleaners
If your countertop cleaner is outside of a safe pH level, your cleaner could end up damaging the surface of your quartzite countertop. To prevent this, stick to using pH-balanced cleaners. If you’re not sure what’s considered pH-balanced, stone-specific cleaners can be a good option. Dish soap is also acceptable as a cleaner.
Deal With Spills as Soon as They Happen
If you ever spill anything on your quartzite countertop, it’s better to deal with the spill sooner rather than later. By swiftly handling spills, you prevent stains from developing on your countertop. This leaves your countertop looking nicer for a long time to come.
Give Your Quartzite Countertop Regular Sealing
It’s important to seal your quartzite countertop regularly. Doing this will protect the countertop against stains. You can also help your countertop preserve its luster by doing this. Typically, you’ll want to stain your countertop either annually or every other year. This will depend on how much use your countertop gets.
