Silestone Quartz Daily Cleaning Routine
For Silestone Quartz with a polished finish, we recommend you use a mild
household cleaner, such as 409, Fantastik, Lysol, or Windex. In case of
stubborn spills or stains, soak the area for up to 10 minutes with one of
the above cleaners and vigorously wipe away with a Scotch Brite pad.
Silestone® Leather™ does show daily living more frequently and therefore
requires more daily maintenance than other Silestone Quartz products. For
your daily cleaning routine we recommend "Countertop Magic" follow
instructions on bottle of cleaner.
Silestone Quartz Common Use
The natural quartz in Silestone makes it the toughest interior surface
available on the market. It resists scratching, staining and scorching
better than any other natural stone or solid surface. Do avoid excessive
force or pressure because that may mar or chip the surface. Don't worry
about spills from coffee, wine, lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, makeup, and
many other common household products; just avoid harsh chemicals. And don't
worry about dropping a lit match onto your Silestone countertop; it won't
scorch. But, use trivets when placing any hot items to avoid thermal shock.
CAUTION
The following will harm Silestone Quartz: Drano, Liquid Plummer, oven
cleaners and floor strippers. Do NOT use these or any other harsh chemicals
on your Silestone surface.
CAUTION
Do NOT use crock pots or electric skillets while in direct contact with
your Silestone surfaces. Always place them on a trivet or cutting board to
protect your countertop. (Review your electric appliance manual as a
reference.) Silestone is a stone product. As with any natural stone, certain
exposure to heat may cause cracks due to thermal shock.
