How to extend the service life of quartz stone countertops?
The kitchen is the "heart" of a family, and whether your kitchen is clean directly affects your cooking mood. If you cook with a good mood, the food you make will become particularly sweet.
The cleanliness of the kitchen largely depends on the quartz worktops, and a clean and easy to manage countertop can add a lot of points to the kitchen. To always have a good mood and make delicious meals every day, you not only need a good quartz counter top, but also need to know how to maintain and maintain it, so that the countertop is always in a healthy state!
1.Daily maintenance: Quartz stone is a green and environmentally friendly surface material. The product is non radioactive, and food can directly come into contact with the surface. It is widely used in places such as cabinets and dining tables. Having children at home cannot avoid pollution such as oil stains, coffee stains, wine vinegar stains, sugar and salt stains, which can make the table dirty. In this situation, simply wiping it with warm water and Hefei soap water can restore cleanliness and tidiness. When encountering stubborn stains, a cleaning pad can be used to clean it.
2. Remove rust stains
Due to the large number of metal cookware in the kitchen, annoying water stains and rust are inevitable on the countertop. To deal with these rust stains, you can use a damp cloth to clean the surface stains, then soak the stains in toothpaste, white vinegar, or 84 for about 10 minutes, and then wipe them dry with a cloth. The stains can be easily removed.
3. Remove ink stains
If you have a mischievous child at home, you may also need to deal with some ink and handwriting. You can use a damp cloth to clean the surface stains and then use an eraser to erase them. If there are still traces, use a 1:0.5 ratio of laundry detergent and water to make the mixed laundry detergent more viscous and have a certain amount of friction. Soak the mixed laundry detergent on the countertop for about 5 minutes, and then use a small brush to scrub until the stains are removed, Wash with clean water.
4 High temperature
Quartz stone is made by combining most of the quartz sand and a small part of the resin with pigments, and undergoing multiple rigorous production processes. It is exquisitely crafted and has better heat resistance than other materials. However, resin has thermal expansion and contraction properties. In daily use, the use of insulation pads and insulation tripods can better protect the surface of the countertop, especially the edge parts, to avoid sudden and severe high temperatures causing cracking of the quartz countertops.
5. Avoid forceful scraping and impact. In daily use, quartz stones should also be avoided from being scratched by strong external forces. For example, avoid using steel wire balls to wash the countertop, and do not directly cut meat and vegetables on the countertop. When cutting vegetables and meat, a thick cloth can be placed first, and then a cutting board can be placed. Try to avoid the hanging position of the countertop as much as possible, and do not use mechanical impacts such as knives and drills.
6 Waterproof properties
The surface of advanced quartz stone will evaporate after encountering water stains for a certain period of time and will not leak liquid. Various stains will not affect the quartz stone themselves. Only when the stains come into contact with water and undergo chemical changes will they form problems such as dyeing and pollution. In addition, long-term humid environments are particularly prone to the growth of microorganisms that can affect health. Water stains are the enemy of quartz stone countertops, and maintaining ventilation and dryness is particularly important.
7 Corrosion resistance
Avoid corrosive chemicals coming into contact with the countertop. Cleaning agents containing bleach, corrosive agents, rosin oil, high alkalinity, xylene, toluene, potassium hydroxide, caustic soda, and any other chemicals cannot clean quartz stone countertops.
