Granite & Quartz Care

Granite and quartz are two of the most durable materials you can have for a countertop, but you still want to clean it properly to be sure it keeps its natural beauty.

How to Clean your Granite and Quartz Countertops

Use warm water and a small amount of mild detergent, be sure you do not use an abrasive soap. Rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly with a clean soft cloth to keep it looking like new. Bacteriological studies have shown granite to be easily disinfected so mild soaps work just fine. There are many other cleaners and disinfectants made especially for quartz based stones on the market. If you have any doubt on what to use, just ask!
