1. How do I maintain Quartz's natural beauty?
   Simply wipe with warm water and soap, using a damp cloth or paper towel. There is no need to worry about grease, grime, hairspray, or messy makeup spills - Simply wipe it off! Natural Quartz is easy to care for and naturally maintains its luster for many years to come.



2. How should I remove stubborn or dried spills?
   Use a damp, soft cloth with warm water and soap. If needed, apply common household cleaners such as Soft Scrub, Clorox Gel, and Mr. Clean Erase. To remove adhered material such as food, gum, nail polish or even dried paint, first scrape away the excess material with a plastic putty knife and then clean the surface with a damp cloth to remove any marks left behind and any residual dirt.



3. How durable are Quartz products?
   Natural Quartz is resistant to cracks, chips, scratches and stains. However, like most materials, excessive force and/or pressure from objects can damage the surface.
   
   Natural Quartz is resistant to most stains caused by fruit juices, liquid food coloring, coffee, tea, wine, grapes and soft drinks. Natural Quartz's high gloss finish and non-porous nature provides maximum resistance to staining and fully eliminates the need for any sealing. The non-porous quality of the surface greatly reduces the potential for bacterial growth.



4. Do I need to apply a sealer to Natural Quartz?
   No. Due to the surface of Natural Quartz being non-porous, you never have to apply a sealer to any Natural Quartz surface.



5. Can I cut on my Caesarstone countertop?
   Although your fine cutlery will not harm Natural Quartz, using a cutting board is recommended to prevent dulling the surface.



6. How do I maintain the polish on my Natural Quartz?
   Polished: Due to its high density and non-porous qualities, normal cleaning with a damp cloth will keep your Natural Quartz surface looking like the first day it was installed.
   
   Honed: It is very important that you understand that HONED FINISH will require more daily maintenance than our polished finishes. Since there is more exposed surface area with honed finishes, metal marks, finger prints and other signs of daily living will show on honed material. Most of these marks can be easily removed with little effort and cleaning products such as Soft Scrub. For tough stains, work the area with a Scotch Brite pad.
