For everyday cleaning, avoid common household products that include bleach or ammonia, as they will damage the sealer. Instead, there are a number of products available that are made for use on natural stone. Warm, soapy water can also be used for a simple wipe-down of your counters.

Quartz countertops do not require sealers, and can be maintained by polishing occasionally with soft (non-abrasive) cleansers, or with simple soap and water. Do not use any cleaners with harsh chemicals as they will damage the stone. As quartz is a natural stone and can crack, use caution when using crockpots or other hot electrics; always place them on a board or surface on top of the counter.

Granite, quartz, marble, and tile all have advantages as surface materials. Choice comes down to the colors and patterns you prefer as well as the amount of maintenance you are comfortable with. The best material is the one that provides the look and feel that you desire!
