Caring for Your Quartz Countertops
Engineered for real life. Non-porous and low maintenance, your Havenstone quartz stays beautiful with almost no effort at all.
Quartz is one of the easiest countertops to live with. It never needs sealing and shrugs off daily use. Keep these four simple habits in mind and it will look brand new for years.
Wipe Daily
A soft cloth, warm water, and mild soap keep quartz bright and clean. There is no wax or polish to apply, ever, just a quick wipe.
No Sealing Needed
Quartz is engineered to be non-porous, so it never needs sealing. That means one less chore and lasting protection against stains built right in.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Skip bleach, oven cleaner, and abrasive pads. Strong chemicals and rough scrubbers can dull the finish over time. Gentle is all quartz needs.
Protect From Heat
Quartz handles everyday use with ease, but always set a trivet or hot pad under pots and pans. Sudden, direct heat can damage the resin that binds the surface.
Do
- Clean with warm water and mild soap
- Wipe up spills whenever you notice them
- Use trivets under hot pans and cookware
- Enjoy zero sealing and zero fuss
Avoid
- ✕Use bleach, oven cleaner, or harsh chemicals
- ✕Scrub with abrasive pads
- ✕Place hot pans directly on the surface
- ✕Bother sealing it, quartz never needs it
