Omnia Quartz Surfaces are engineered and designed to be both beautiful and durable, not to mention highly resistant to the wear and tear of everyday life; however, as with any material used for surfaces, it is not 100% stain, scratch or heat proof.  Follow our recommended tips below for ways to maintain your quartz surface in its original brilliance.

Care: Routine cleanups with a simple solution of soft or mild soap and warm water will prevent superficial build up of residues and stains.  Hardened residues can be easily removed with a soft scrub and a soap water solution.

Maintenance: Quartz surfaces are very low maintenance and require nothing more than wiping down your countertops regularly.  While sealants and impregnators are not required to prevent stains, using them as an extra step can be beneficial for added protection. This extra layer of defense can help keep your quartz surface in top condition.

Please note that finishes other than Polished will require more daily maintenance.  Signs of day to day use such as marks and smudges will show more and require special attention for upkeeping.  To remove stubborn spots, use liquid Bar Keeper’s Friend with a gentle scrub.

Avoid:

• Blunt or sharp objects and cutting directly on the quartz surface.  Always use a cutting board to prevent damage to both your kitchen tools and your countertops.
• Hard chemicals, such as bleach, solvents, concentrated acids and abrasive cleaning solutions.  Remove promptly with a damp cloth, cleanse thoroughly with soap and water.
• Abrasive scrubbing pads.
• Placing hot kitchenware directly on the countertops as any sudden temperature changes can cause thermal shock.  Always use trivets and hot pads beneath hot pots, pans and skillets.
• Leaving spills unattended for long periods of time

Tips: Acetone and paint thinner may be used sparingly and with caution to remove tough stains.  Cleanse thoroughly with soap and water afterwards.
