It’s important to know that when cleaning quartzite, simple and quick is best, and as with most natural stone, prevention is key! Quartzite is pretty low-maintenance, and as long as you take basic precautions and use the proper cleaning products, your investment should hold up well throughout the years.
Here are a few things to keep in mind:
1.Quartzite is a natural stone, so it is porous and can stain if not sealed properly. Be sure to seal your quartzite before using it.
Keep it simple – the most efficient way to keep your quartzite clean is to properly seal it and use a simple mixture of dish soap and water for day-to-day cleanings.
2. When cleaning quartzite, use a mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or cleaners as they can damage the stone.
Stay away from abrasive sponges as well as bleach, ammonia, or acid-based cleaners. These items can scratch the surface or even wear down the sealant, which can cause your quartzite countertop to look unpolished, and allow for staining and etching
3. Quartzite is also susceptible to scratches and etching, so be careful when using knives or other sharp objects on the surface. If something does scratch or etch the quartzite, you can try polishing it out with a quartzite polish or sealer.
Prevention is key. Using coasters, potholders, cutting boards, properly sealing and sealing once a year, as well as not letting stains sit for too long will help keep your quartzite looking gorgeous for years to come.
