1. Is Superstone quartz environmentally friendly?
Yes. Quartz countertops have been traditionally manufactured from natural quartz and some combination of resins, pigments and other raw materials. All these combinations of natural crystals, resins and eco-friendly materials, create a nonporous surface, which results in a countertop that is impervious to stains and bacteria while oftentimes being indistinguishable from their natural counterparts. Not only is quartz naturally made, but it is found in abundance. Also, since they’re nonporous, quartz countertops do not require the frequent application of chemical-based sealants making them a long-term eco-friendly option.
2. How can I choose from different Superstone quartz selections?
In Superstone, there is a wide variety of options to choose. From the look of premium natural stone that embodies visual texture, movement and pristine mineral pigments to exotic marble with bright backgrounds and complex veining, to solid hues with flecks of recycled glass, you’ll find more quartz options than natural stone to fit your style and décor.
3. How do I care for and clean my Superstone quartz surfaces?
Quartz countertops are nonporous, which means they are extremely difficult to stain (even by highly acidic foods like tomato sauce, red wine, and citrus). Most spills (wet or dry) can be removed with a little mild soap and a soft cloth if done so soon after the spill or mess. For tougher stains, you can use a glass or surface cleaner to help remove any traces of messy meal prep. You can also use a glass cleaner and non-abrasive sponge for any dried-on food or grease. Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can dull and scratch the surface.
4. What are the recommended cleaning & disinfecting products for Superstone quartz surfaces?
Daily cleaning: soap and water or a mild detergent with soft scrub recommended.
