Maintenance of quartz worktops

Care for quartz and composite worktops

Composition and finishes vary between products. Follow the guide for your specific slab and finish.

Everyday cleaning

Use a soft cloth, warm water and a mild cleaner approved by the manufacturer. Rinse and dry afterwards. Remove spills before they dry.

Do not use strong chemicals or abrasive products unless the manufacturer approves them for that surface.

Heat and scratches

Do not place hot pots, pans or heat-producing appliances directly on the worktop. Use suitable heat protection and a cutting board. Avoid impacts around edges and cut-outs.

Stains and treatments

Choose stain removers according to the manufacturer’s guidance for the stain and finish. Matt and textured finishes may need different cleaning from polished surfaces.

Quartz surfaces normally do not need sealing. Do not apply wax, polish or sealers without an explicit recommendation from the manufacturer.
