FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FAQ
Clean
Honing, cleaning of concrete and rough finishes
Note that honed, concrete and rough finishes require more cleaning than our polished finishes. Since these finishes have more exposed surface area, metal markings, fingerprints and other signs of everyday life will show. Most of these marks can be removed effortlessly with the use of non-abrasive cleaning products. And use a non-abrasive cleaning product like Soft Scrub Liquid Gel.
Which cleaners should not be used?
Remove the stain with a dry rag. For liquids, food and stubborn stains during cooking, use a damp cloth to wipe the surface stains, then use soap or detergent to spread evenly, and then wipe back and forth with a rag until the stains are removed, then rinse with water and dry.
Avoid chemicals with high alkalinity or pH. Cleaners that may contain this substance include oven grill cleaners, floor cleaners, toilet cleaners, oil soaps, stain removers, upholstery cleaners, drainage products, rags and those designed for cleaning granite, marble and other natural stone agent, etc. In case of accidental contact with any potentially harmful product, rinse immediately with water to neutralize the effect.
Are quartz stone countertops hygienic?
Andy's Quartz surface is engineered to be highly non-porous, so it won't absorb water and won't grow bacteria, mold or mildew, keeping it safe and fresh for ultimate cleaning.
Can vinegar be used to clean surfaces?
If you want to use an eco-friendly cleaner on surfaces, use a 1:1 combination of vinegar and water. Rinse and dry the surface thoroughly afterwards.
Protect
What products should I avoid when protecting quartz?
● Avoid strong chemicals and solvents, strong acids or bases, oxidizing agents, or similar materials, regardless of pH.
● Avoid harsh cleaning products such as: oven/grill cleaners, dishwasher cleaners, floor paint removers, oil soaps, paint removers/paint strippers, etc. or anything that contains trichloroethane or dichloride Methane products
● Avoid oily products as they may leave residues. All products should be rinsed thoroughly
● If the surface comes into contact with any product that could damage it, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
● Check each cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first to make sure it won't damage the surface.
Is Quartz Stone Scratch Resistant?
The surface of Caesarstone is scratch resistant. However, avoid using sharp objects, such as knives or screwdrivers, directly on the surface. Always use a cutting board, especially on dark quartz, which tends to scratch more easily.
Avoid heavy accumulation
Avoid placing too much weight on your countertop. Excessive weight can also have an impact on the underlying cabinet structure.
Can a hot pot be placed on a quartz countertop?
Very brief moderate heat exposure can be tolerated, however, any stone can be damaged by sudden and rapid temperature changes, especially near edges. Therefore, the best practice to prevent discoloration or cracking is to use an inexpensive and easy-to-use tripod, especially when using cooking equipment such as electric frying pans, crock pots, or toasters. Do not place hot cookware directly on quartz countertops.

Quartz stone finish
Stone veneers give surfaces the final look in terms of tactility (tactility), light reflection, and the overall fusion of colors and patterns. It depends on the grounding depth experienced by the slab in its final stage. Honing is a more matte gloss with a flat, smoother texture, while polishing gives a highly reflective, luminous sheen.
Where can quartz stone be used?
Since our surfaces are so hygienic and durable, they are ideal for kitchen and bathroom countertops. They are non-porous and safe, making them ideal for areas where food is prepared and served.
