Quartz countertops are a durable and low-maintenance option for kitchen and bathroom surfaces. To keep them looking their best, it's important to follow a few simple maintenance steps:

1. Clean regularly: Use a mild soap and water or a specialized cleaner designed for quartz to wipe down the surface regularly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface.
   
   
2. Protect from heat: Quartz is heat-resistant, but it's still a good idea to use trivets or hot pads to protect it from extremely hot pots and pans.
   
   
3. Prevent staining: Quartz is highly resistant to staining, but it's still important to wipe up spills promptly to prevent staining. Avoid placing anything on the surface that can stain, such as red wine or oil.
   
   
4. Avoid acidic substances: Quartz can be damaged by acidic substances, such as citrus juices, vinegar, and other acidic cleaners. To avoid damaging your quartz countertop, rinse thoroughly with water after using any acidic substances.
   
   
5. Seal periodically: Although quartz is less likely to need sealing than other types of natural stone, it's still a good idea to have it sealed every few years to protect it from staining and damage.
   
   

By following these simple maintenance steps, you can keep your quartz countertop looking beautiful for years to come.

Things to avoid

Here are some things you should avoid placing on top of a quartz countertop to keep it looking its best:

1. Sharp or abrasive objects: Quartz is scratch-resistant, but it can still be damaged by sharp or abrasive objects like knives, keys, and other metal tools.
   
   
2. Hot pots and pans: Direct heat from hot pots and pans can cause thermal shock, which can cause discoloration or cracking in quartz. Use trivets or hot pads to protect the surface.
   
   
3. Chemicals and acidic substances: Quartz is resistant to staining, but it can be damaged by strong chemicals or acidic substances like vinegar, lemon juice, and cleaning products that contain bleach.
   
   
4. Abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads: Abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads can scratch the surface of quartz. Use a mild soap and water or a specialized cleaner designed for quartz to clean the surface.
   
   
5. Dyes or pigments: Some dyes or pigments can stain quartz, so it's best to avoid spilling or placing anything with dyes or pigments directly on the surface.
   
   

6. DO NOT Put a hot coffee cup/mug to cool down directly on a quartz countertop. It can cause discoloration due to thermal shock. Quartz, like all natural stone and engineered stone, can be sensitive to sudden changes in temperature. When a  hot coffee mug is placed directly on the quartz surface, it can cause a thermal shock that can cause the quartz to discolor  or even crack.

To avoid thermal shock and discoloration, it's best to use trivets or hot pads to protect the quartz surface from hot objects like coffee mugs. Additionally, you should always allow hot pots and pans to  cool down before placing them directly on  the quartz surface. By taking these simple precautions, you  can help protect your quartz countertops from discoloration and other damage caused by thermal shock.

By avoiding these items on your quartz countertop, you can help keep it looking beautiful for years to come. If you do have a spill or stain, be sure to clean it up promptly to minimize the risk of damage to the surface.
