No surface is indestructible and can be subject to damage. To keep its shine and luster, we always recommend using a cutting board and a hot pad when cooking.
How do you clean and maintain quartz countertops?
Quartz is very user friendly, as does not need to be sealed. Mild soap and water is sufficient for cleaning. If there are marks that are difficult to remove, use a gentle cleaning scrub with a soft towel. Stay away from using any type of abrasive cleansing pad as this could dull the surface.
