How to Clean Quartzite Countertops in your Northern Utah Home
Are you looking to keep your quartzite countertops in pristine condition? Quartzite is an increasingly popular kitchen countertop material due to its natural beauty, durability, and elegance. However, it’s important that you know how to properly care for quartzite countertops, Cleaning them correctly will preserve their appearance and extend the life of the stone, while improper cleaning could end up causing irreparable damage. With this blog, Signature Marble and Granite walks you through all the steps necessary to effectively clean a quartzite surface!
Why Do Quartzite Countertops Need Specific Cleaning Instructions?
Quartzite is a natural stone that is extremely hard and durable, making it ideal for countertops. However, because it is porous, quartzite can easily absorb liquids and oils, leaving behind stains if not cleaned properly. Also, harsh chemicals can damage the surface of quartzite countertops over time. To keep your quartzite looking beautiful for years to come, follow these simple steps for cleaning your counters.
Recommended Cleaning Products for Quartzite
The main product recommended for cleaning quartzite is Barkeeper’s Friend. This highly effective cleaner is non-abrasive and has a low pH, so it won’t damage the surface of your counters. Simply spray onto the surface and wipe away with a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge.
For tougher stains or dirt buildup, you may need other products specifically designed for cleaning quartzite surfaces. Check with your sales rep at Signature Marble and Granite in Utah, Salt Lake City or Davis Counties for more information on products that would work best for your particular type of quartzite countertop and when it was last sealed.
Other tools such as a scrub brush or toothbrush may be used but should be done with caution since they may scratch the surface of the countertop if used too harshly or too frequently.
How to Remove Tough Stains From Quartzite
Some stains may require additional attention when trying to remove them from quartzite countertops—in particular oil-based stains such as cooking grease or red wine spills. If you find yourself facing this situation, try using a paste made from baking soda and water (1:3 ratio). Apply the paste directly onto the stain and let sit for 5 minutes before rinsing off with warm water—just make sure not to scrub too hard while rinsing! With proper care like this you can keep your quartzite looking beautiful without having any problems down the line!
