Are You Cleaning Quartz Countertops Wrong?

[@wheaties1435]

Use a wet dish cloth or paper towel to “soak” those stuck on spots while you clean other areas… quite often comes off without having to use any scratch off pad.

[@daniellewagner3926]

I've had luck even getting dark hair dye out of my white quartz just by using alcohol multiple times a day over the course of the week. I saturate a cotton pad and leave it to sit for a few minutes and then wipe away. Alcohol such a great cleaning tool!

Just moved into a house with these countertops so this was very, very helpful and timely!! Thanks very much!! 👩‍🍳

Hi. Do you have any tips on removing limescale on quartz countertop?

[@user-qd2oj1zb4i]

If you have dark quartz and use baking soda or bar keepers you'll notice a bit of color difference. It's because dark quartz absorbs oils and will darken over time. Just clean the whole counter like you did the spot, and it will all match. I freaked the first time I cleaned a spot. After calling the countertop company, the guy told me what to do. Also, be very careful with dark quartz, you can still scratch or even chip it! It's not as carefree as you're led to believe!! But it is beautiful! One other thing... be sure to keep the area around your faucet dried! Water will leave white crusty marks that are a bear to get off!!!

Thank you so much for this video! My husband and I have quartz countertops in our house, and we've never had it before now.

[@CleanThatUp]

Happy to help!

[@christinajones3022]

I've used soft scrub on my quartz countertops and it works great on stains

[@ThankfulNanaDiane]

Thank you for this. We just got quartz countertops, & the company wasn’t overly helpful about care instructions.

[@philjustphil6444]

Great channel! I just found it. Do you have a "Daily Clean Check List"? A Weekly Check List? Including how long it should take to do?

[@paleguy9975]

Thank you for this. We have "Miami white" (I think, but they're SUPER white) quartz countertops, and they're absolutely beautiful. Little did I know how easily they'd markup. I've been struggling, constantly wiping them down with Young Living thieves (diluted of course), and regular cotton towels. Now I know to use microfiber cloths and simple dish soap with water. I also have an essential oil stain (lemon), and I'm not sure how to buff that out. Let me know if there's something I can do about that. Great video. Thanks again!

[@dbong1021]

Recommended spray bottle? My Home Depot ones always seem to break fairly quickly.

[@kathyandthedogs626]

Zep bottles last much longer!

[@RedErin]

I like bottles made for welders, last forever, chemical resistant, and have amazing spray triggers, Amazon usually carries them. Zep is pretty good and you can get them on sale often. Another place to look is car detailed products, some of them sell really nice spray bottles that will last a long time and work really well.

What do you recommend for a rust stain left behind by cast iron pan on white quartz countertop?

[@ritakalaaji6968]

Mix citric acid with hot water and use a towel to clean. Rinse once done l.

[@annwilliams2797]

Hi! I’m just finding your channel and I love it! A quick question about the dish soap and water mix- how much soap to how much water? I’m one of those people who need the exact measurements- I don’t trust myself! Thank you!

[@AmunRa23]

Thank you for this! How do you remove hair dye stains from bathroom granite!?

[@ankurchauhan2445]

What about hard water stains?

[@kukumaku6975]

Use any acid, be it citric, oxalic, muriatic. Just wear gloves and glasses when you clean. Remember, all mineral stains are erased with acid, all greasy, organic stains are removed with alkaline (baking soda, ash soda, hydrochloric soda,etc)

[@thebusybees2006]

[@Mickeytothemax]

Had sharpie bleed through on my quarts and it scared me so bad. Had to use isopropyl and baking soda

[@E-man23]

is the dishwashing liquid plus water not enough to disinifect the countertop?

[@AmunRa23]

Exactly my thought!

[@pt8421]

I was just thinking about if products like Bon ami is safe on quartz countertop and what’s best to use. This video is helpful. I would avoid using magic eraser as I have took the varnish right off and it’s also not wood friendly for the same reason. I would recommend test it on a small surface on a hidden area first.

[@CleanThatUp]

Totally agree! A magic eraser is always my last option if the spot is not coming out.

[@pt8421]

@@CleanThatUp Thanks for replying! Yes, it’s my “for special occasion” sponge and when it works, it works like a charm! Have a great weekend!

Love your channel. Would love to see a video on how to clean a Wolf Gas range, especially the baffles for the vent.

[@terrirojas]

Does your range have stainless steel top? I don’t have a wolf but have a gas stovetop that is stainless steel and I’m terrified to ruin it with cleaners. I feel like our fingernails have already scratched the surface where the knobs are

What was the ratio of dawn & water? Thanks. I actually used the dawn u have in the background and sooo much soap. Took forever to get it off 😂- not doing that again lol

[@fd3spark677]

I’ve watched a few of your videos and I know you use Incide for sanitizing. Would you avoid using it on natural stone? My home has natural stone in the bathroom and I was wondering what I should use to sanitize it. Thank you so much for your videos.

[@threatrix5811]

I'm moving into a rental in 2 weeks w bright white quartz. Thank God I saw this video! Now I'm going to be super paranoid about my coffee bar.

That was a really good visual of the scratches ❤

[@Abrikosmanden]

Could you do one about high pressure laminate counter tops? I have a cheap one that has discoloured on my main working spot, and I'm afraid to go hard on the cleaners. It's a rental flat ...

[@glassgoddess8646]

Can you use force of nature? The cleaner machine that makes hypochlorous acid.

[@CleanThatUp]

Looks like they claim it to be safe on the website. I just worry that it’s a little too acidic… The average PH for that is around 5.5 - 7 depending on the water being used. If it’s closer to the 7 PH range I would use it.

[@glassgoddess8646]

[@SabriyaAlexander]

Good day..how do you clean your microfiber dishcloths please

[@joannabruns529]

Never use bleach or fabric softener……I have tons of these. Fabric softener leaves a film in the towel and when cleaning something like windows they won’t be clear. Bleach breaks down the fiber

[@kathywall713]

Any suggestions if I have scratches in my countertop?

[@user-qd2oj1zb4i]

Kathy, yes! People don't realize quartz will scratch!! If the scratches aren't deep, you can try bar keepers. Just remember, since quartz scratches, bar keepers can scratch if rubbed too hard! So go over scratches lightly! If your counter is dark, you'll have to do the whole thing. Otherwise, you'll notice a color difference. I do mine periodically, and they come out beautiful. If the scratches are deeper, you will most likely need to call a countertop store and see if they can be professionally sanded and buffed. And don't use abrasive pads!! But do use cuttingboards!! Best of luck!

[@jenniferwlodarczyk]

Will any dish soap work? Prefer to use unscented, more natural dish soaps.

[@CleanThatUp]

Yes!

Any idea why black dots will suddenly appear on quarts countertops? wasn't there before and it's multiplying. Some go away when I wipe is down with dawn and sponge, others smear and impossible to come off. Contractor has never seen it before and tried white vinegar and didn't work. I tried white eraser, nothing, lastly did the baking soda paste and it made the ones that were smeared, lighter and some of the dots disappeared but I have a lot that smeared. Any thoughts why these black dots appear on white and ombre countertop and how to prevent them from smearing or growing more? HELP

I’m confused, you say not to use anything too acidic or alkaline, then recommend baking soda which is alkaline??

never use rubbing alcohol on a counter. They have a Wymans quartz cleaner it disinfects up to 99% cleans and protects too can’t beat that product you are missing out Brandon

[@CleanThatUp]

I haven’t tried that one yet. Looks like the main ingredient in the cleaner is isopropyl alcohol like I’m using here. I’m not a huge fan of cleaners with “protectants” because they can lead to build up over time.

[@MatinaG]

I’ve been using alcohol on the quartz for years. Looks beautiful. Zero buildup
