4 Tips to Maintain Your Caesarstone Countertops
4 min read
When choosing a kitchen countertop or other surface in the home, savvy shoppers know there are a few factors to consider:
While there are several beautiful surface materials that might fit into your vision, they will most likely require extra care. Who has time for that?
Caesarstone quartz surfaces offer a luxurious, nonporous, low maintenance option that allows you to prepare dinner, entertain, and live your everyday life without the worry that goes into maintaining your countertops.
Here are some tips on how to clean your Caesarstone surface and how to keep your kitchen countertop looking new at all times.
1. Take it Easy on Your Surfaces
Because Caesarstone surfaces are hard, nonporous, and stain-resistant, it’s not necessary for you to scrub away at cracks and stains. For everyday, routine cleaning, simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth and warm soapy water, a mild detergent, or a quality spray to maintain its luster. Thoroughly dry with a soft cloth or paper towel. For consistent shine, wipe countertops in a broad circular motion.
Unlike marble and granite countertops, Caesarstone surfaces don’t need to be sealed regularly to protect them from stains, mold and mildew.
2. Use Non-Abrasive Household Cleaners
To remove fingerprints, coffee rings and water marks, give your surface a more thorough clean with a non-abrasive household cleaner like Soft Scrub Liquid Gel, a smooth cleansing cream or gentle household bleach. Apply cleaner to damp cloth or sponge, wipe, and dry with paper towel.
If you’re looking to use environmentally-safe cleaners, you can use a combination of 50/50 vinegar and water.
3. Get rid of stubborn stains
Spilled oil, vinegar, soy sauce, curry, turmeric powder, red wine, food colouring, makeup, ink, permanent markers and metal marks from keys are not an issue on your Caesarstone. Gently add a cleanser with oxalic acid to a non-abrasive sponge and wipe. Remember to rinse and wipe dry.
For tougher stains, household alcohol, and a soft cloth will work, or try a small amount of household bleach for lighter-coloured surfaces.
4. Be Smart
Caesarstone surfaces are extremely strong and durable, but they are not indestructible. Don’t use abrasive sponges on your surfaces, and avoid using the following directly on your surface:
