We recommend keeping an old spray bottle&nbsp;filled with water&nbsp;handy. Once a day,&nbsp;spray&nbsp;the&nbsp;countertops&nbsp;with water and then add a&nbsp;couple of drops of your favorite non-oil-based hand soap (oil-based soaps can dull quartz\u2019 shine) or dish detergent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though quartz is a sturdy material and very difficult to scratch, avoid using abrasive pads and scrubbers&nbsp;as&nbsp;these can leave streaking in the polish. Instead, get a cloth&nbsp;and wipe&nbsp;the&nbsp;countertops. Start from one end&nbsp;and move&nbsp;to the other, cleaning just a few feet at a time before your next spray.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stubborn stains&nbsp;are likely if the countertops haven\u2019t been cleaned for a while. If this happens, pour a little vinegar directly onto the dirty area&nbsp;and&nbsp;leave a wet cloth or rag sitting on top of the stain for a little while to loosen the dirt.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep up this regimen<span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">&nbsp;for&nbsp;gleaming quartz&nbsp;countertops<\/span>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vinegar-based spray cleaner is&nbsp;another&nbsp;option&nbsp;to&nbsp;keep&nbsp;quartz countertops&nbsp;glistening. In&nbsp;a&nbsp;clean&nbsp;spray bottle, mix one-quarter vinegar with three-quarters water and shake it up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as with&nbsp;regular countertop&nbsp;cleaning, keep spraying and&nbsp;wiping&nbsp;across&nbsp;the&nbsp;counter, cleaning a few feet at a time. For the best shine, use a microfiber cloth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/caesarstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/1141_Pure-White_Image_10_LS20180424_summitres_014v1-1200x800-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caesarstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/1141_Pure-White_Image_10_LS20180424_summitres_014v1-1200x800-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.caesarstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/1141_Pure-White_Image_10_LS20180424_summitres_014v1-1200x800-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.caesarstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/1141_Pure-White_Image_10_LS20180424_summitres_014v1-1200x800-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.caesarstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/1141_Pure-White_Image_10_LS20180424_summitres_014v1-1200x800-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/caesarstone.com\/catalog\/1141-Pure-White\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1141 Pure White<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Rinse your countertops thoroughly&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter how careful you are, certain foods end up all over&nbsp;the&nbsp;countertops&nbsp;and can&nbsp;stain them.&nbsp;Traces of&nbsp;food residues may be dulling your quartz countertops without you even noticing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, with quartz being a non-porous material,&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;nearly&nbsp;impossible for any stains to&nbsp;be&nbsp;permanently absorbed into the stone.
