Daily Habits

After your morning routine, spend a few moments tidying up:

• Place your toothbrush back in its holder or cup.
• Return makeup to its designated drawers.
• Store hair tools in cabinets or organizers.

A clutter-free countertop not only enhances the look of your bathroom but also makes it easier to wipe down surfaces daily, keeping your bathroom neat and hygienic.

Quick Wipe Down

Instead of buying expensive cleaning agents, you can make a simple and effective cleaner at home:

• Mix equal parts of vinegar and water in a spray bottle.
• Spray the solution onto the countertop and wipe with a clean cloth.

This will keep your surface clean, shiny, and free from residue without harsh chemicals.

Regular Maintenance

For deeper cleaning, use a store-bought tile cleaner or create your own homemade solution:

• 1 ⅔ cups baking soda
• ½ cup liquid soap
• ½ cup water
• 2 tablespoons vinegar

Mix the ingredients, apply to the countertop, and wipe off to remove accumulated dirt and grime.

By incorporating these habits into your routine, your bathroom countertop will stay sparkling and organized with minimal effort!

Natural stone requires specific care to maintain its beauty and durability. Follow these tips for cleaning and protecting stone surfaces:

Cleaning Tips

• Use the Right Cleaners: Clean stone surfaces with a neutral cleaner, stone soap, or mild liquid dishwashing detergent mixed with warm water.
• Avoid Residue: Household cleansers can leave residue on natural stone. Always rinse thoroughly and dry the surface to prevent water spots.
• Avoid Harmful Products: Do not use abrasive or acidic cleaners, and limit the use of ammonia-based solutions, as frequent overuse can dull some stone types.

Specialized Products

Look for stone-specific cleansers, sealers, and polishes designed for countertops or floors. These products are widely available in local hardware stores. Professional steam cleaning services are also an option for maintaining natural stone areas.

Proper Cleaning Tools

• Use a clean soft cloth for countertops and a clean rag mop for floors.
• Always sweep or vacuum the area beforehand to remove dirt and debris. Leftover particles can scratch the surface during cleaning.

Cleaning Process

1. Clean the surface with a gentle soap solution.
2. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
3. Dry the surface immediately using a soft microfiber cloth.
4. Change the rinse water frequently during the process to avoid reapplying dirt.

Maintenance Recommendations

Stone tops are sealed and polished during manufacturing. After installation, re-seal and polish the stone every 6 to 12 months, depending on usage, to maintain its protective finish and shine.

By following these guidelines, you can keep your natural stone surfaces looking beautiful and lasting longer.

Marble is a calcium-rich, porous stone that is prone to expansion and damage if not cared for properly. Here’s how to maintain its beauty and prevent damage:

Preventing Stains and Cracks

• Act Quickly on Spills: Wipe up spills immediately to prevent them from seeping into the pores of the marble, which can cause cracks over time.
• Avoid Standing Water: Do not leave wet dishes, glasses, or water sitting on the surface. Water can seep in and leave a permanent ring, which occurs due to changes in the marble's composition. These marks can only be removed with professional polishing.

Choosing the Right Cleaning Solution

• Use Marble-Safe Cleaners: Select cleaning products specifically designed for marble.
• Avoid Harmful Chemicals: Most household cleaners contain acids, like citric acid, which can damage the marble’s finish.
• Opt for Neutral Solutions: Phosphate-free cleaners or mild dishwashing liquids are safe alternatives.

Proper Cleaning Technique

1. Wipe the marble with a gentle cleaning solution.
2. Rinse the area immediately with warm water to remove all soap residue.
3. Dry the surface thoroughly to prevent moisture from penetrating the stone.

Pro Tip

Regular care with the right products will keep your marble countertop looking its best. Always avoid using abrasive or acidic cleaners to preserve its natural finish.

Engineered Stone has been known as the material that is highly resistant to stains. That is due to its non-porous surface, which prevents liquids and spills from leaving a stain. However, when engineered stone is exposed to hard water, if that water is not wiped off, it can leave mineral deposits. We recommend to seal the surface every 3-6 months depending on usage. Here, we are bringing the 5 tips on how to remove water stains from your engineered stone countertops.

1. Use steel wool

If you have a mineral buildup from hard water, use steel wool to remove it. Use light handed circular motions for the whole countertops, even if they don’t have visible stains. Follow up with using a dry cloth to wipe off the loosened buildup.

2. Baking soda

Another way to remove water stains is to mix the baking soda and water. Pour a bit of this home-made cleaner on the stain, then rub it in with kitchen sponge with circular motions. This method will help to remove stains from glasses and cooking.

3. Use plastic wrap

If the first two methods do not remove the stain, you can try this trick. Pour a bit of the baking soda-water mixture on the stain. Cover it with a plastic wrap and let it sit for a few hours. This will create the heat that will pull out the stain out of your engineered stone countertops.

4. Use a specialized cleaner

There are also engineered stone cleaning kits on the markets that are exactly created to remove the stains from hard water. They can be effective if none of the above methods helps.

5. Wipe the spills and glass rings at the earliest opportunity

Distilled water will not leave a stain, because what leaves stains on engineered stone are actually minerals that water contain. If you want to prevent water stains, you can use distilled water when doing the routine cleaning. Another way to prevent the water stains is to wipe off the spills and glass rings with a dry cloth after each use.

Following these simple steps for removing the water stains will make your engineered stone countertops even more shiny and beautiful. Engineered stone is highly resistant to stains, but it is not stain-proof; the key to leaving your engineered stone countertops clean and without stains is to remove the spills as quickly as possible. If not, these tricks can help you to bring back its beauty.

Daily Cleaning

• Wipe the surface with a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge using warm water and mild dish soap.
• For spills, clean them immediately to prevent potential staining from substances like coffee, wine, cosmetics or oils. Avoid letting spills sit for extended periods.

Stain Removal

• For tough or dried spills, use a non-abrasive surface cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water. Let it sit for a few minutes, then gently scrub and rinse.
• Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning pads that could damage the surface finish.

Preventing Damage

1. Heat Protection: Always use trivets or heat pads under hot tools like hair dryers and curling irons. Quartz is heat-resistant but can suffer damage from sudden temperature changes (thermal shock).
2. Scratch Prevention: Avoid direct contact with sharp objects to prevent scratches.
3. Avoid Impact: Refrain from dropping heavy items onto the countertop, as this can chip or crack the surface.

Cleaning Do's and Don'ts

Do Use:

• Neutral pH cleaners, stone-safe solutions, or mild dish soap.
• Non-abrasive cloths or sponges.

Don't Use:

• Cleaners containing bleach, ammonia, or citric acids.
• Abrasive scrubbers, steel wool, or harsh chemical agents.

General Maintenance

• Quartz countertops do not require sealing as they are non-porous and highly durable.
• Maintain a consistent cleaning routine and avoid prolonged sun exposure to prevent discoloration.

By following these practices, you can ensure your quartz countertops stay beautiful and functional for years. If issues arise, consult the manufacturer or professional services for specific recommendations.
