maintaining your quartzite
Regular Sealing (Twice a Year)
Quartzite should be sealed regularly to protect against stains and etching. Be sure to use a high-quality, penetrating sealer recommended for natural stone.
Routine Cleaning
Clean quartzite surfaces with a mild soap and water solution or a pH-neutral stone cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or acidic substances that can damage the surface.
Avoiding Acidic Substances
Quartzite is resistant to etching but can still be affected by acidic substances like lemon juice or vinegar. Avoid prolonged exposure to acidic liquids and promptly clean up any spills to prevent damage.
