Care & Maintenance: Use dish-soap and water on a cloth or the soft side of a sponge for daily cleaning. If you are using a cleaning product, be sure that is meant for natural stone (i.e. Weiman Granite & Stone Cleaner). Do not: Do not use Windex, Clorox or any other product not meant for stone. Although quartz & engineered stone is heat resistant, we do not recommend placing extremely hot objects on the surface for long periods of time. Using a coaster or other types of padding to reflect the heat will ensure that your new countertops remain in excellent condition. Although quartz & engineered stone is strong & scratch resistant, we do not recommend using your quartz/engineered stone countertops as a cutting-board as scratches and/or other possible damage may occur. Using an actual cutting-board will ensure that your new countertops remain in excellent condition.
