Learning how to clean “Master Quartz” surface countertops takes no time at all—thanks to the stain-resistance of this remarkable material. “Master Quartz” surfacing is a tough, non-porous, chemically resistant, high-performance surface that elevates residential kitchen aesthetics with the natural beauty of quartz.
Just Use Water and a Paper Towel
With simple, care, “Master Quartz” surface will retain its radiant, lustrous appearance for many years. For routine cleaning, simply wipe down your countertop with a damp cloth or paper towel and, if necessary, a small amount of non-bleach, non-abrasive cleanser.
Clean Up Spills Right Away—Before They Can Dry
Even though “Master Quartz” surfaces resists permanent staining when exposed to liquids (such as wine, vinegar, tea, lemon juice and soda) or fruits and vegetables, you’ll want to wipe up food and liquid spills as soon as possible.
For stubborn or dried spills, use a nonabrasive cleaning pad with Glass & Surface Cleaner.
ESSENTIAL GEAR
Cutting Boards and Trivets
“Master Quartz” surfaces are heat- and scratch-resistant, but not heat- and scratch-proof. Use trivets or pads with hot pots, and always use a cutting board. Never chop or slice food directly on
your countertops.
WHAT NOT TO USE
If any of the substances mentioned below come into contact with “Master Quartz” surfaces, rinse the exposed surface immediately and thoroughly with water.
No Wax or Polish Necessary
Because it is non-porous, “Master Quartz” surface does not require sealants or waxes. “Master Quartz” keeps its lustrous gloss and ultra-smooth surface without polishing or applying sealant.
Avoid High-pH Cleaners
Casual exposure to alkaline solutions, such as diluted bleach, will not damage “Master Quartz” surfaces. Highly alkaline (high pH) cleaners, such as oven cleaners and concentrated bleach, are not recommended.
Removing Grease
When grease from cooking is an issue, use Greased Lightning, or a comparable degreasing product, to help loosen and remove the grease from the surface. Follow the cleaner manufacturer’s instructions for use.
Permanent Markers
Keep permanent markers and inks away from your countertops. Should these agents come into contact with the surface, clean first as outlined above in Routine Care. If the stain persists, moisten a cloth with “Goo Gone”, or a comparable product, and rub it into the stain. Rinse thoroughly with warm water to remove any cleaner residue.
Keep Solvents and Powerful Chemicals Off the Counter
Avoid exposing “Master Quartz” surfaces to strong chemicals and solvents, especially trichlorethane or methylene chloride. Keep nail polish remover, bleach, bluing, permanent markers or inks, and oil soaps away from your “Master Quartz” countertops.
Heat Damage Prevention
To maintain the beauty of “Master Quartz” surfaces, do not place hot skillets or roasting pans directly onto the surface. We recommends the use of trivets and hot pads.
Dealing with More Difficult Spills and Materials
Materials that harden as they dry (such as gum, food, grease, nail polish or paint) are especially tenacious. Remove these by gently scraping away the excess with a plastic putty knife.
Backed by a 10-Year Warranty
In the unlikely event that you do experience any problems due to a manufacturer’s defect, you can rest assured that Master Quartz backs its product with a ten-year limited residential warranty.
