Everyday cleaning
Warm water and a soft cloth, or a stone-safe cleaner for anything stubborn. Dried-on residue lifts with a plastic scraper rather than a scouring pad.
Avoid abrasive powders, bleach and highly alkaline or acidic cleaners. They can dull the finish, and the damage is to the resin, not the quartz.
No sealing required
There is nothing to seal — the surface has no open pores. If a product claims to seal quartz, you do not need it.
Heat and sunlight are the real cautions
Always use a trivet or hot pad. Sustained heat from a pan, a slow cooker or a countertop appliance can affect the resin.
Sustained direct sunlight is the other one. That is why we recommend natural stone rather than quartz for exposed outdoor surfaces around Grand Lake.
Marks and repairs
Most marks on quartz are surface residue rather than a stain in the material. Send us a photo before trying anything aggressive.
