Regular cleaning with lukewarm water and gentle soap will keep your counters looking good as new.
Stains can be spot treated with soapy water or even window cleaner.
Protect your countertops long-term by using hot pads and cutting boards.
Step 1: Clean It Off
Always make sure to take everything off your countertops before cleaning including small appliances and any decor. This extra step goes a long way in ensuring that you¡¯ve gotten everything clean. Your brain and your countertop will thank you.
Step 2: Remove the Debris
Scoop all of the crumbs and debris off the counter using a dry sponge. You can easily scoop it into the sink or use a dustpan. Getting all of the dry cruds off your counter will ensure you don¡¯t scratch the surface while cleaning.
Step 3: Scrub the Surface
Apply a few drops of dish soap to a wet, nonabrasive dish sponge. Using the sponge, scrub the quartz counter in an "S" pattern from the backsplash out to the edge. You may need to scrub a bit harder on those sticky or caked-on spots. For super stubborn areas, use a razor blade to remove them. Don¡¯t worry, you aren't going to scratch the surface. Simply make sure that the entire edge of the blade rests on the counter.
Step 4: Rinse the Soap Suds
Once the counter has been scrubbed, rinse all the soap suds away. Soap lifts the dirt while water washes it away. Thoroughly rinse out your sponge and use it to wipe up all of the soap suds. You may need to re-rinse the sponge a few times. Use a dry dish towel to wipe away any excess moisture once you¡¯re done.
Step 5: Disinfect the Surface
Create a simple disinfectant using 1/4 cup rubbing alcohol and two cups of water in a spray bottle. You may wish to add 1-2 drops of essential oils to add a nice smell to the mixture. Spray the countertops down, making sure to cover the entire surface. Allow the cleaning solution to sit for 2-3 minutes.
Step 6: Dry the Surface
After a few minutes, the cleaning solution will disinfect your countertops. Use a clean, dry dishtowel to wipe away any remaining moisture. Now, your counters are clean, disinfected, and good as new.
Cleaning quartz countertops is the same as you¡¯d clean other countertop materials such as granite and concrete.
