CARE & MAINTENANCE

Quartz is easy to clean. In most cases with soap and water or a mild detergent will keep your Quartz kitchen worktops looking like new. We recommend using warm water and a mild detergent or quality spray, such as “Dettol Anti-Bacterial Surface Cleaner” or “CIF Cleaner” [white natural].

For the leather finish “VIM” can also be used, in order to enjoy enduring beauty and unmatched performance for years to come. If necessary, use a non-abrasive soft soap along with a non-scratch or delicate scrub pad. Afterwards, thoroughly rinse with warm clean water and use paper towel cloth to remove any residue left over.

We advise you use our Stone Care Kit, a minimum of twice a year to help keep your slab looking like new for longer.

Quartz is virtually maintenance free and can be cleaned with extreme ease. For routine cleaning and to wipe off spills, use a damp cloth or paper towel and a small amount of mild soap or non-acidic cleaner. Once clean, rinse and dry the surface thoroughly.

Note that colours available in a honed finish are more sensitive to grease or finger-prints than polished surfaces and may require extra care during routine cleaning due to the different level of smoothness.

Thanks to their non-porous properties, Quartz surfaces are highly resistant to stains.

However, do not allow dirt and residue such as stubborn food or gum stains to harden and remain on quartz surfaces for extended period of time. In case they do, scrape away gently using a small blade or putty remover before cleaning with warm water and soap.

For stubborn or dried spills, use a nonabrasive cleaning pad combined with a small amount of mild soap or specialized stone cleaner.

Recommended stain remover: Bar keeper Friend Power Cream.

Quartz is more heat resistant than other stone surfaces including most granite, marble and limestone; and is not affected by temperatures lower than 150°C (300°F).

However, like all stone material, quartz can be damaged by sudden and rapid temperature changes.

Therefore, we suggest that hot pots, saucepans, and frying pans never be directly placed on the surface.

We recommend the use of a chopping board, hot pad or trivet be placed on the surface under cooking units such as electric frying pans, deep fat fryers, crock pots, roaster ovens, etc.

By doing this you will avoid leaving burn marks on the quartz.

The Quartz Stone is a harder material; however avoid abuse of the surface by refraining from using sharp objects such as sharp knives or screw drivers directly onto the surface.

We advise using a chopping board, when cutting on the surface.

Metal Marks can stay of the quartz surface when cutting, these can be removed with “CIF Cleaner (white natural), and a soft cloth.

For the leather finish surface use “VIM”.

It’s important to be aware that like any other surface, Classic Quartz Stone can be permanently damaged if exposed to strong chemicals and solvents. These can damage its physical properties. Never clean your Classic Quartz Stone surface with products that contain Trichlorethane, dichloromethane or Methylene chloride, such as paint removers or strippers.

Avoid the use of highly aggressive cleaning agents such as oven/grill cleaners and dishwasher polishing agents that have high alkaline/pH levels (pH 8.5 or higher). Products containing oils or powders may leave a residue and should be rinsed off thoroughly. Should your surface accidentally be exposed to any of these damaging products, rinse immediately with clean warm water to neutralize the effect.

Keeping your quartz looking new for longer we advise giving it a proper stone clean 3 – 4 times a year. Quartz is not indestructible!
