SEH Quartz care and maintenance
SEH Quartz is a scratch and stain-resistant worktop that’s easy to clean and maintenance-free. Quartz is a durable material, but there are some things you need to be aware of to keep it looking its best.
Follow the SEH Quartz care and maintenance instructions below to maintain and care for your product.
How to clean SEH Quartz worktops
General cleaning
To remove dirt or dust, wipe the surface with a dry cloth, then clean it with Cif Actifizz or a similar cleaner using a green-and-yellow washing-up sponge. Afterwards, dry the surface with a cloth.
Removing stubborn stains
SEH Quartz has a non-porous surface, so nothing will permanently stain it. However, try to wipe up spillages immediately – especially wine, coffee or anything acidic or alkaline-based – as these may be harder to remove when left on the surface for a long time. If a mark does appear, remove it with Cif cream or an equivalent product, rubbing the area gently in a circular motion.
Please note that matte and concrete finish colours need a little more care than polished colours.
Don’t use specialist worktop cleaning products
Many specialist worktop cleaners claim to enhance shine and protect your work surface. However, we don’t recommend using these for SEH quartz, as they can lead to a build-up of chemicals that may damage your worktop over time.
How to care for a SEH quartz worktop
Do not expose to heat sources
Although SEH quartz can withstand high temperatures for short periods, its performance can vary.
Therefore, we recommend always protecting the worktop from hot saucepans, baking trays, deep-fat fryers etc. with a hot pad or trivet.
Avoid scratches
Although SEH Quartz is scratch-resistant, it’s not scratch-proof. So, while it will withstand everyday scratches and scrapes, we recommend using a chopping board when cutting with sharp knives.
