Mix up a cleaning solution
To make a cleaning solution, you need the following ingredients: one quart of water, two tablespoons of liquid dish soap, one tablespoon of ammonia, a gallon jug. Mix together the water, dish soap and ammonia in the gallon jug then pour it into a spray bottle. Spray the area with your new cleaner and scrub it clean with a brush if necessary. Wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
Give it time
Quartz is a popular choice in countertops because it's durable, long-lasting, and beautiful. But what should you do when you have a stain on your quartz that just won't budge? Fear not, we've got all the tips on how to clean any type of stain from your quartz countertops:
- If the stain is dry, try using coarse salt or baking soda with a little water. Scrub gently until the stain disappears. If that doesn't work, try using a paste made from cornstarch or talcum powder. These can be quite effective for removing oily stains.
Use a non-abrasive cleaner if necessary
When you want to clean your stone surface, it's important that you use a non-abrasive cleaner. In addition, abrasive cleaners will damage the surface. Here are some steps for how to properly clean your stone:
- Use a non-abrasive cleaner to wipe down the surface in order to remove any oily residue.
- Rinse off the surface with water and a sponge or cloth. Avoid using soap or detergent which can leave behind residue on the stone surface.
- Let the stone air dry completely before applying any other treatments or sealant. This will make sure that there is no residual soap left on the surface which could cause mildew if left unchecked.
Consider professional help
If you're not sure how to go about removing a stain from your quartz countertops, it might be worth hiring a professional. Professional cleaners will have the right equipment and know-how to tackle tough jobs with confidence. They'll also be able to identify the specific type of stain you have so that they can select the appropriate cleaning product. If you do decide on DIY, use caution because many products can damage or even break down the surface over time.
