KEEPING YOUR QUARTZ & GRANITE BEAUTIFUL
We’re proud to offer stunning quartz and granite countertops in many our apartments. With a little care, these surfaces will stay gorgeous! Here's how to treat them right:
General Cleaning Tips:
- Gentle Cleaners Only: Use warm water, gentle dish soap, or pH-neutral stone-safe cleaners. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia, lemon, or vinegar.
- Dry for a Streak-Free Shine: Wipe surfaces completely dry after cleaning to prevent water spots.
- No Abrasives: Steer clear of gritty or “non-scratch” products—they can dull the finish.
For Quartz:
- Porous But Protected: Your quartz countertops are sealed, but they can still absorb oils and spills. If they darken when wet, don’t worry—they’ll return to normal once dry.
- Quick Cleanup: Wipe up spills promptly, especially from food, oils, or acids, to prevent staining.
For Granite:
- Heat & Scratch Protection: Always use cutting boards and trivets under hot pots to avoid scratches and heat damage.
By following these simple care tips, your countertops will keep their natural beauty and shine. Happy cleaning!
