Quartz is a very hard material and has a high abrasion resistance. It is resistant to cracks and scratches. However, like most materials, excessive force and/or pressure from objects can damage the surface. Quartz is tough, but it is not indestructible. You need to care for your Quartz surface to keep it in good shape. Quartz is non-porous and has a very low absorption rate. It is resistant to most stains caused by fruit juices, liquid food coloring, coffee, tea, and soft drinks. Its non-porous nature provides maximum resistance to staining and fully eliminates the need for any sealing. The non-porous quality of the surface also greatly reduces the potential for bacterial growth. Quartz is resistant to acids. It does not affect household acids such as lemon, vinegar, wine etc. That quality alone makes it a very appropriate replacement for the white marble look in your kitchen. It is an excellent choice for people who love the luxuriant look of white marble but do not want to contend with the maintenance required for white marble kitchens.

Quartz’s is a low maintenance product. Due to its high density and non-porous qualities, normal cleaning with a damp cloth and mild detergent is all you need to keep your Quartz surface looking great. Thoroughly rinse off the soap/mild detergent with hot water after use and dry with soft cloth. To avoid dulling the surface shine, make sure to use a non-abrasive cleaner, and thoroughly rinse off with water after use.

These elements can adversely affect their composition, leading to potential damage and diminished aesthetic quality over time. Therefore, alternative materials that are better suited to withstand the elements should be considered for outdoor kitchen spaces or patios.

Because of the hardness of natural Quartz, engineered Quartz surfaces are hard-wearing, stain, scratch and heat resistant. Their non-porous properties mean that they are very hygienic as the build-up of bacteria or Mould is prevented and food can be placed in direct contact with the surface which helps keep your family safe.
