How to Care for Engineered Quartz Countertops
Engineered quartz countertops are a popular choice for homeowners who want a durable and stylish surface that is easy to care for. Quartz countertops are made from a combination of natural quartz and resin, which makes them resistant to heat, stains, and scratches. They are also non-porous, which means they will not absorb bacteria or mold.
To keep your engineered quartz countertops looking their best, follow these care and maintenance tips:
Daily Care
- Wipe down your countertops with a damp cloth or sponge to remove any dirt or debris.
- Use a mild dish soap or a quartz cleaner to clean your countertops, and avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Rinse your countertops thoroughly with clean water and dry them with a clean towel.
Weekly Care
- Deep clean your countertops using a commercial quartz cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water.
- Apply a sealant to your countertops to help protect them from stains and scratches. Sealants should be applied according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Monthly Care
- Inspect your countertops for any signs of damage, such as chips, cracks, or stains.
- If you find any damage, contact a qualified quartz countertop repair specialist to have it repaired.
Special Care
- Do not place hot pans or pots directly on your countertops.

- Do not use abrasive cleaners or sponges to clean your countertops.
By following these care and maintenance tips, you can keep your engineered quartz countertops looking beautiful for years to come.
