Kitchen countertops are responsible for most of the cooking and frying, so the requirements for kitchen countertops are higher. Not only should they be matched with cabinets, but they should also be maintained during use to make the quartz countertops longer and more durable.

Hypnose Quartzite Stone

Quartz countertops, which are often used in kitchens, have obvious characteristics such as high hardness, scratch resistance, and stain resistance. Oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc. that are in daily contact in the kitchen are also difficult to penetrate. However, in order to make the countertops as bright as new, we make the following maintenance suggestions for kitchen countertops:

1. Ordinary scrubbing

Minor stains

For example, soup stains, just use a clean wet towel to wipe, and minor stains can be cleaned immediately.

Regular stains

For regular stains such as oil stains, sauce stains, tea stains, etc., which remain on the countertop, oil stains are also divided into oil smoke and liquid oil. For the layer of film attached to the oil smoke, you can use a rag to clean it or use a neutral detergent (such as detergent, hand soap) to clean it. For oil stains caused by scattered food, it is recommended to absorb the oil with kitchen paper first, then cover the area with oil cleaner or baking soda, let it stand for 0.5-1 hour to avoid staining, and wipe it clean with a wet rag. The above stains are best cleaned in 2-8 hours.

Strong stains

Try to avoid contact between kitchen countertops and strong stains such as nail polish, hair dye, paint, rust, etc. If contacted, it is recommended to use a special cleaning tyrant, cleaning powder or toothpaste for countertops to remove them. The above stains are best removed within 2 hours.

2. Daily maintenance

Kitchen countertops are like our skin. Only with proper maintenance can they be durable and new.

Keep dry

Keep the countertop dry and avoid long-term immersion in water. On the one hand, it prevents debonding and deformation, and on the other hand, it prevents bleach and scale in the water from making the stone lighter in color and affecting the appearance. At the same time, it can also reduce the possibility of mold growth on the countertop.

Gentle use

Natural stones such as marble are expensive, and the cost and difficulty of repairing them after being bumped are high. They have the characteristics of thermal expansion and contraction. When the plate cannot withstand the internal force caused by heat and cold, there is even a risk of explosion. Therefore, the following principles should be followed during use:

1) Avoid long-term local heating:

Although quartz is more heat-resistant than other materials, all countertops may break due to sudden changes in temperature, especially the edges. To avoid long-term local heating of the countertop, which may cause the local heated position to become less resistant to stains, discolor or crack, please do not place hot pots such as woks and soup pots, irons, electric stoves and other high-temperature utensils directly or for a long time on the countertop. It is recommended to use pot mats with good heat insulation.

2) Pay attention to scratches Load-bearing position:

The Mohs hardness of quartz is generally 5-7. Do not scratch the quartz countertop with a knife. The knife will be scratched by the quartz and leave black stains; At the same time, avoid chopping bones near the connection port, water basin, and furnace hole to avoid cracking at this position. It is recommended to chop bones in a large area of ​​quartz stone load-bearing position or make a dedicated area.

Use tools to clean

Facing the problem that white countertops are easy to get dirty, we teach you how to clean them.
