Quartz Care & Use

Quartz Care & Use

Congratulations on the purchase of your Quartz countertops from Rock Bottom Granite. Quartz is an elegant, durable and resilient countertop surface that will provide you with many years of comfort and satisfaction. Maintaining your quartz is simple and easy.

• For everyday cleaning use a soft sponge or dishcloth with warm water.
• For stubborn or greasy clean-ups use a gentle liquid cleaner like Mr. Clean, 409, Simple Green, Fantastic, etc. or ordinary dishwashing detergent e.g. Palmolive with warm water and a “White Scotch Brite”
• Never use red or green Scotch Brite on Quartz as they contain aluminum oxide (the same abrasive in sandpaper) and may dull Quartz’s finish.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning agents such as regular Comet and Ajax. If needed, Bon Ami and Bar keepers friend are both approved non abrasive cleaning powders that will clean without affecting Quartz’s finish.
• Though most common household cleaners have no effect of Quartz, never allow your Quartz countertop to come in contact with drain cleaners, paint strippers or products containing Hydrofluoric acid, Methylene chloride, Trichloroethylene or any product with a very high or very low PH. These types of chemicals may etch or discolor the surface of Quartz.
• Quartz is scorch resistant and under normal conditions is not affected. Always use a trivet or hot pad between Quartz and any heat-generating device including but not limited to crock pots, deep fryers, hot pots and pans, or electric skillets. Sudden or rapid change of temperature or sustained heating, especially near edges and cutouts, may create enough thermal expansion energy to cause your countertop to crack. Damage caused by thermal expansion is not covered under the Quartz warranty.

Follow these simple care and use guidelines and your Quartz countertop will provide you with many years of trouble-free use.
