Guidance for Maintaining Your Quartz Countertop in Monticello, MN


Quartz countertops are carefully engineered by some of the top manufacturers in the industry. A lot of research has gone into making them as durable and stain resistant as possible while keeping them within an acceptable price range.


At Custom Stone Interiors, we fabricate countertops, vanity tops, and other surfaces with quartz from Silestone, HanStone, and Caesarstone. Our manufacturers have provided us with guidelines that help you keep your new countertops looking great for many years to come.


If you have any questions about cleaning or caring for your new stone quartz countertop in Monticello, MN, please call Custom Stone Interiors today.


Silestone's Quartz Maintenance Tips


  • Clean your polished Silestone quartz countertop with a mild household cleaner (409®, Fantastik®, Lysol®, or Windex®).
  • Stubborn stains can be cleaned by soaking the area with one of these cleaners for up to 10 minutes and vigorously scrubbing the area with a non-scratch Scotch-Brite® pad.
  • The Silestone Leather™ finish requires more maintenance. We recommend using Countertop Magic™ and following the instructions on the bottle.
  • Avoid excessive force, pressure, or impacts that might chip the surface.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals on the countertop.
  • Wipe up spills quickly. Liquids like coffee, wine, lemon juice, olive oil, and vinegar are unlikely to stain, but they should be wiped up as soon as possible.
  • Use trivets under hot pans to avoid thermal shock that could crack the stone.


HanStone's Quartz Maintenance Tips


  • Clean your HanStone quartz surface regularly with a damp cloth, warm water, and soap or a non-abrasive cleaner that does not contain bleach.
  • If your countertop has the Velour finish (only available in the color Aramis), it will require more frequent cleaning.
  • Wipe up spills as soon as possible. HanStone quartz is resistant to stains, but it is not impervious.
  • Use trivets to protect your countertop from thermal shock. Sudden extreme temperature changes can crack the stone.
  • Do not cut directly on the quartz surface. This also helps protect your knives.
  • Do not drop heavy objects onto the countertop.
  • Avoid exposing your HanStone countertop to strong solvents or chemicals. Paint removers, stain strippers, nail polish removers, bleach, furniture cleaners, oil soaps, permanent markers and inks, oven cleaners, and drain openers can all contain chemicals that can discolor or damage your countertop. Avoid using oils, powders, or abrasives on the surface.
  • The following products may be used to clean your countertop, but they must be applied and removed quickly to remove a spill or residue:
  • Simple Green
  • 10x Stone Polish
  • Magic Eraser by Mr. Clean
  • Soap and Water
  • Denatured Alcohol
  • Hopes Surface cleaner
  • Rock Doctor cleaner
  • Gum, nail polish, and paint can be removed by gently scraping at it with a plastic scraper or putty knife.


Caesarstone's Quartz Maintenance Tips


  • Clean your Caesarstone countertops regularly with a damp cloth or sponge and non-abrasive household cleaners like Soft Scrub® Gel with Bleach Cleaner or Comet Soft Cleanser Cream With Bleach. Rinse the countertop thoroughly after cleaning.
  • To remove gum, food, or nail polish, gently scrape the area with a plastic putty knife. Follow up with a damp cloth.
  • Caesarstone Honed, Textured, and Motivo surfaces require more daily maintenance than polished surfaces. Clean them as listed above.
