Q Premium Natural Quartz is a solid, nonporous surface material that holds up well to daily wear and tear and requires only minimal cleaning and maintenance. Q Quartz does not require sealing, polishing, or reconditioning. For everyday cleaning, use a soft sponge or dishcloth with warm water. For stubborn or greasy clean-ups, use a gentle liquid cleaner or ordinary dishwashing detergent with warm water and a dishcloth or light cleansing hand pad.

No counter surface is entirely immune to the effects of extreme temperatures, and manufacturers always recommend using protection, such as a hot pad or trivet, when placing extremely hot pots or pans on the counter.

Q™ Premium Natural Quartz can reliably withstand temperatures up to about 300°F without scorching. However, high heat could affect the resin content of the slab, potentially causing discoloration, so it’s always best to protect engineered quartz surfaces from heat.

One of the most appealing characteristics of engineered quartz is how resistant it is to stain. While porous stone like granite and marble must be resealed regularly to prevent the possibility of staining, Q™ Quartz is a nonporous surface that can hold up to known staining agents like coffee, tea, juice, pasta sauce, and more, with almost no maintenance required. Learn more about why Q™ Quartz is stain resistant but not stain proof.

Engineered quartz is among the most food-safe surfaces available. While natural stone needs regular sealing to maintain protection against stains and microbes seeping into the surface, quartz is nonporous, preventing both staining and microbial growth. Q™ Quartz is non-toxic and certified by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) as meeting standards for food safety and sanitation. It is also Kosher certified. Learn more about why quartz is considered sanitary and how to keep your quartz countertop hygienic.
