2025 Ultimate Guide to Quartz Stone Maintenance
1. What is Quartz Stone?
Quartz stone is a high-performance artificial stone that combines natural quartz sand with modern resin pigments. It is composed of about 93% natural quartz sand and 7% resin and pigment. High-quality quartz stone not only retains the texture of natural stone, but also avoids the shortcomings of natural stone, such as easy color penetration and fragility, making it the preferred material for modern kitchens and bathrooms.
Pro Tips:
1)The quartz surface pattern uses advanced digital printing technology, which makes the patterns of different batches of plates almost completely consistent, ensuring the consistency and beauty of the design.
2)An important feature of high-quality quartz stone is its hardness. The Mohs hardness of high-quality quartz stone is ≥7, and a key will not leave marks on the surface, ensuring durability and wear resistance in long-term use.

2. Quartz Stone VS Other Countertop Materials
In 2025, high-quality quartz stone will be more competitive in the kitchen countertop market. Compared with other common countertop materials, such as marble, granite and stainless steel, quartz stone has taken the mainstream position in the market with its excellent physical properties such as wear resistance, high temperature resistance and anti-penetration. Especially in terms of stain resistance, quartz countertop is better than marble countertop and stainless steel countertop . Although marble and granite naturally have unique beauty, the customizability and consistency of quartz stone make it an ideal choice for modern families.

✅ THINGS TO DO:
Weekly cleaning: It is recommended to scrub the quartz surface with neutral soapy water every week to keep it clean. Cleaners with neutral pH are most suitable to avoid damage to quartz surface by strong acids and alkalis.
High temperature protection: Although high-quality quartz stone is resistant to high temperatures, long-term high temperature contact with your quartz countertop will accelerate the aging of the resin. It is recommended to place an insulation pad or heat-proof pad on the quartz countertop before placing a hot pot.
Wipe stains in time: If liquids such as soy sauce and coffee are not wiped in time, although the quartz countertop has good anti-penetration properties, stains may be left after more than 48 hours.
Polishing every year: In order to restore the mirror effect of the quartz countertop, it is recommended to polish it once a year, and the cost is about 50-80 yuan/㎡.
Place heavy objects lightly: Although quartz surface is hard, violent impacts may cause the edges of the quartz countertop to crack or break, so heavy objects should be avoided from directly impacting the quartz countertop surface.
❌ WHAT NOT TO DO:
Avoid chopping bones directly: Although quartz countertops are durable, in order to avoid damaging the quartz surface, it is recommended to use special cutting boards, especially silicone cutting boards, which can protect the quartz surface and are very popular.
Do not use steel wool for cleaning: Steel wool will leave tiny scratches on the quartz surface, affecting the appearance.
Avoid contact with strong acids: Strong acid cleaners such as toilet cleaners will corrode the resin layer on the surface of quartz.
Soak in water for a long time: Long-term contact with water or moisture, especially the joints of quartz countertops, may cause mold growth.
Avoid exposure to the sun: Long-term exposure to the sun may cause the surface of quartz to discolor, so you need to choose UV-proof quartz styles when using it on the balcony.
