Quartz worktop care

General information and material properties

Quartz composite worktops are made from a mixture of natural quartz and a resin binder, resulting in a very durable and uniform material. Unlike natural stone, quartz has very low absorbency and does not need sealing.

Quartz is a hygienic, non-porous and easy-care material, which makes it ideal for kitchens and bathrooms. However, it is sensitive to high heat and harsh chemicals.

Daily cleaning

Everyday care of a quartz worktop is simple. In most cases a soft cloth with lukewarm water or a neutral cleaner is enough.

Although quartz is durable, harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaning products are not recommended.

Stain removal

Quartz does not absorb liquids, but tougher dirt should be cleaned with a suitable product. Substances left on the surface for a long time can leave marks.

Heat and use

Quartz does not withstand very high heat as well as natural granite. A hot pot or pan placed directly on it can damage the surface or cause discolouration.

Chemicals and durability

Quartz generally withstands everyday cleaning, but harsh chemicals can damage the surface or make it dull.

Avoid prolonged contact with solvents, bleach and acidic substances.
