Facts About Granite and Quartz Countertops
The beauty and durability that granite’s offer has led it to be the most sought for option when homeowners remodel their kitchens. Granite and quartz countertops are often the most popular choice between homeowners when it comes to choosing beauty and versatility. Available in a multitude of colors and types that will suit your tastes and requirements.
Chemical cleaners
Your granite countertops are porous natural stones that will soak up any liquid if they are not protected with sealers regularly. Using sponges and cleaners that are abrasive will wear the sealant layer down fast and scratch the surface of the granite. Avoid acidic cleaners such as lime, vinegar, and Windex.
Sealing
When purchasing your countertops make sure they are sealed. Granite is known for its strength and durability but is still worn down with use. Make sure you maintain your countertops by sealing them regularly. Failure to seal your granite regularly will result in staining of your precious granite countertops. To test the sealing of your countertops simply drop some water, if it is soaked up it needs to be resealed.
Swiftly Wipe
To prevent your countertops from developing stains, make sure you wipe any spills as fast as possible. Sealing will protect your countertops but maintaining your countertops will be more beneficial to owners in the long run. Keep the surfaces clean to increase their longevity.
Cleaning
Using mild dish detergents and warm water with a washcloth will clean your counters and deliver a hygienic look similar to those of abrasive sprays without damaging your counter. Granite is tolerant of higher temperatures so using warm water and dish detergent is effective. If you want to use stronger substances, dilute them in water.
Will my quartz countertop soak any kind of water when wet?
Quartz countertops are perfect stones that are non-porous so they do not soak any water on the surface like natural stones. Mild soaps and sprays can be used all over the surfaces to clean any liquid and stains without damaging the surface.
Is there any limitation to clean quartz countertops?
Use any kind of cleaners, even those with chemicals in them! This engineered rock has been made of resins to protect it from chemicals and liquids without additional sealing. For meaner stains soak a damp towel on top of the stain until it loosens.
Do I need to schedule any maintenance after you install my kitchen countertop?
The best part about Quartz is that it does not require any additional scheduled maintenance like natural stone. These countertops have been manufactured with the needed properties and do not require additional waxing or sealing from stains or mildew.
Do I need to be too carefully when using it?
This stone is known for its durability so don’t be shocked by its small list of ‘don’ts.’ Remember to keep a select amount of abrasive material away from your countertops such as paint removers, silver polish, nail polish remover, and oil-based soaps.
Do You have any tips for a daily use?
Quartz countertops can take quite a bit from its owners. This doesn’t make them indestructible. Don’t cut your vegetables and meats directly on the surface because the knives can damage your stone. There aren’t a lot of things to avoid when dealing with Quartz. It is known to be one of the toughest materials available for use.
