A coup for the maintenance of quartz stone countertops
Feb 01, 2021
Quartz stone countertops have many advantages such as "beautiful color, hard and wear-resistant, healthy and environmentally friendly, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and aging resistance". Although it does not require special maintenance, daily maintenance is still necessary.
1. Do not use non-neutral detergents indiscriminately for a long time.
Many consumers often use super cleaners and detergents with unknown ingredients in order to achieve quick cleaning results. These cleaners and detergents often contain strong acidity and alkalinity. If they are frequently wiped with these liquids, the quartz stone countertops will lose their luster and reduce the brightness. Xiaohe recommends that you use an ordinary cleaning cloth soaked in warm water and wipe it slowly, or use an ordinary cleaning cloth soaked in diluted ordinary detergent.
2. Do not place wet towels or wet sponges for a long time.
Keep the quartz stone countertops clean and dry. Do not allow water to accumulate on the countertops for a long time. Do not place wet towels or wet sponges on the countertops for a long time. The surface of Hefeng's quartz slabs are treated by special processes such as nano-polishing. Long-term immersion in water may change some characteristics of the quartz slab surface, which is easy to age.
3. Don't let sharp blades such as bone cutters "close contact" with them.
Herfeng quartz stone has a hardness of 6.0-7.5 on the Mohs scale. In theory, the hardness is much greater than that of sharp tools such as knives and shovel used in the kitchen, and it is not easy to be scratched by it. But for sharp blades such as bone choppers, it is best not to let them "close contact" with the countertop, after all, it is more hygienic to use wooden cutting boards.
4. Don't put the hot pot directly on it.
Quartz stone raw material itself is a typical refractory material with a melting point of up to 1300 degrees. However, the bottom of the hot pot is extremely hot and covered with ash stains. The extremely high-temperature ash stains are in direct contact with the quartz stone countertop, which is very likely to change the molecular structure of the quartz stone plate surface, causing the countertop to heat up and cold shrink to crack or leave Grey stain marks. Xiaohe suggested putting an insulation pad on the countertop, and then letting the pot heat up.
5. Don't arbitrarily apply cheap wax to the countertop.
