Your countertops are one of the most used and eye-catching surfaces in your home and taking proper care of them is the secret to keeping their beauty and durability for years to come. Whether you have quartz, granite, or quartzite countertops, each material has its own care routine to stay spotless and strong.
Quartz Countertops
Quartz is one of the most popular choices for modern kitchens because it’s non-porous, stain-resistant, and low-maintenance. For daily cleaning, simply use mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges that could dull the finish. Because quartz doesn’t require sealing, it’s perfect for busy families who want both elegance and practicality.
Granite Countertops
Granite is known for its natural beauty and strength, but being a porous natural stone, it needs some regular maintenance. To protect your investment, seal your granite once or twice a year to prevent staining and moisture damage. Always wipe spills quickly, especially liquids like wine, coffee, or oils. Use a pH-balanced cleaner or a mix of mild dish soap and water to maintain its shine without harming the seal.
Quartzite Countertops
Quartzite combines the elegant look of marble with the toughness of granite. It’s heat-resistant, durable, and luxurious, but just like granite, it benefits from sealing every 6–12 months. Clean daily with a soft cloth and a gentle cleaner to avoid dulling the surface. With proper care, quartzite countertops can last a lifetime and maintain their stunning natural look.
💡 Pro Tip: Always use cutting boards, coasters, and trivets. Even the most durable countertops appreciate a little extra care and it keeps them looking brand new for decades.
