Quartz Countertop Care & Use – Quick English Guide

1. Heat protection  

   • Always use a trivet or heat pad for hot pans, baking trays, slow-cookers, etc. Direct contact above ±150 °C/300 °F can cause thermal shock and cracks .

2. Cutting & chopping  

   • Use a cutting board; never slice directly on the surface. Sharp knives will not scratch most quartz, but they can dull your blades and leave metal marks .

3. Cleaning routine  

   • Daily: mild dish soap + warm water + soft cloth.  

   • Stubborn stains: non-abrasive gel cleaner (e.g., Soft Scrub) or 1 : 1 water & isopropyl alcohol, then rinse and dry .

4. What NOT to use  

   • No bleach, oven cleaner, metal scouring pads, or anything with pH < 1 or > 12. These can etch or discolor the resin .  

   • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong solvents such as acetone, paint thinner, or nail-polish remover—rinse immediately if contact occurs .

5. Impact & weight  

   • Do not stand, kneel, or hammer on the countertop, especially around cutouts for sinks or cooktops; the resin-rich edges can chip .

6. Moisture & standing water  

   • Wipe up spills promptly. While quartz is non-porous, dried mineral deposits from hard water can leave dull spots .

7. Outdoor use  

   • Quartz is intended for indoor kitchens. UV rays will yellow and degrade the resin over time .

Follow these simple rules and your quartz countertop will stay sleek and damage-free for decades.
