Quartz and Engineered Countertop Cleaning & Sealing
Quartz countertops or Engineered stones can come in a matte or semi-finish appearance. They have a faux natural stone appearance but are less expensive to own. Stone Care of Arizona, LLC, the cleaning, sealing and polishing expert would like to share some cleaning tips on taking care of Quartz or Engineered stone countertops.
There are several engineered stones on the market today with various names not limited to Silestone quartz, cleaning Corina, cleaning Zodiac, Caesarstone, Okite, Icestone, Santa Margherita quartz, TechniStone, cleaning Viatera quartz-based line of engineered stone and cleaning Formica stone in Glendale, Cave Creek, and North Valley of Arizona.
CLEANING ENGINEERED QUARTZ COUNTERTOPS:
Even, though Quartz countertops are less likely to absorb water, they can stain and are prone to scratch. They can become damaged when homeowners place hot utensils and pots on them. Do not use soft scrub to clean or you will remove the finish. Quartz or Engineered can become a breeding ground for viruses and bacteria similar to their natural stone counterparts. Even if you purchase an anti-bacterial coating, viruses and bacteria can become immune the same way as anti-bacterial products overtime. For this reason, we recommend regular surface cleaning to keep your surfaces cleaned and that you hire a professional to clean your countertops.
PURCHASE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:
- Purchase a gallon of plant-based disinfectant for use around kitchen surfaces. If you do not use your counter-top to cut food, this suggestion may not apply.
- Purchase a dedicated trigger sprayer – Be sure to write “disinfectant” on the bottle
- Purchase reusable plastic gloves.
- Purchase a bag of dedicated cleaning towels
- Purchase a long hand white bristled brush
CLEANING PROCEDURE:
- Wear gloves for protection
- Mix disinfectant according to the directions – avoid over mixing.
- Take some dish soap and mix in your sink (add hot water first followed by dish soap to avoid becoming overwhelmed with bubbles.)
- Take a cup and pour soapy water in a small area of the countertop.
- Take a brush and scrub the soap (Alkaline) mixture over the countertop without over wetting and causing the soapy mixture to spill over the edges.
- Allow the solution to soak and cause the cleaning agent to break down oily substances.
- Take one towel and begin absorbing the emulsified soil until it is clean. Repeat in areas if you need to remove the unwanted oily substances trapped on the surface.
- Empty sink of soapy water
- Take a damp towel and wipe and rinse and wipe until there is no dark patina left on the towel.
Depending on the size of the quartz countertop the process takes less than 30 mins.
- Take trigger sprayer with disinfectant and mist the countertop generously without overwetting.
- Allow it to soak on the surface about 10 mins. This will allow the disinfectant to kill the germs and viruses. Please note: change disinfectants once a year to prevent germ and viruses from building a resistance to disinfectants
- Take a fresh towel and remove excess. Rinse in cold water from the sink and remove until the surface is damp.
- Take a dry towel and wipe until dry.
- Repeat on surfaces when necessary
The above steps will keep your quartz countertops clean and free of harmful viruses and germs. Even, if you do the cleaning yourself, we recommend that you have your surfaces professionally cleaned once a year.
