Not only does it look <a href=\"https:\/\/graniteselection.com\/blog\/do-quartz-countertops-look-like-marble\/\">prestigious<\/a>, but it&#8217;s also extremely sturdy and <a href=\"https:\/\/graniteselection.com\/blog\/how-long-do-quartz-countertops-last\/\">long-lasting<\/a>. But remember \u2013 you must take good care of it.<\/p>\n<p>How to make sure that your bathroom retains the luxury look for the longest possible time?<\/p>\n<h3>How to Clean Quartz Bathroom Countertops<\/h3>\n<p>We have great news for everyone who loves quartz counters. They are exceptionally durable and, most importantly, easy to clean.<\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t need to buy any professional equipment or cleaning agents. On the contrary, it&#8217;s better to stay away from abrasive or alkaline substances altogether (more on that \u2013 later). Moreover, you don&#8217;t have to dry the quartz walls or countertops after washing your hands or taking a shower.<\/p>\n<p>So, what do you need to keep in mind to clean quartz countertops in the bathroom? Let\u2019s find out.<\/p>\n<h4>1. Use water and soap.<\/h4>\n<p>As we mentioned, you shouldn\u2019t waste money on expensive detergents. It can do your countertop more harm when good. Don\u2019t overcomplicate things. Hot water and soap are all you need to clean quartz bathroom countertops (in most cases).<\/p>\n<h4>2. Rub \u2013 don\u2019t grind.<\/h4>\n<p>Please, stay away from harsh brushes if you want to avoid scratching the quartz. Soft cloth, sponge, or paper towel would make a much better choice.<\/p>\n<h4>3. Clean spills promptly.<\/h4>\n<p>Have you managed to stain a quartz surface with cosmetics? Be quick to wipe it off straight away if you don&#8217;t want to deal with discolored spots later.<\/p>\n<h4>4. Perform a routine cleanup.<\/h4>\n<p>Even though quartz countertops are water-resistant, there are places where soapy fluids will accumulate over time. What&#8217;s the surest way to deal with them? Regular cleanup will do the trick. Most importantly \u2013 don&#8217;t ignore inaccessible areas. We recommend cleaning quartz bathroom countertops like that once every two weeks.<\/p>\n<h4>5. Use coasters.<\/h4>\n<p>Do you store any acidic or alcohol-heavy cosmetics in your bathroom? Staining the surfaces by accident is easier than you think. Sometimes, you can leave a permanent mark just by placing a container after applying something alcohol-heavy. You might want to put fluids like that on coasters to prevent that from happening.<\/p>\n<h4>6. Scrape the crust buildup.<\/h4>\n<p>Want to get rid of crusty coverings on bathroom surfaces? The same rule applies \u2013 don&#8217;t use cleaners that can damage the quartz. Instead, take a razor blade and carefully scrape the crust buildup.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Clean Quartz Shower Walls<\/h3>\n<p>It shouldn\u2019t be argued that quartz shower walls look mesmerizing. They are also quite versatile \u2013 there&#8217;s a <a href=\"https:\/\/graniteselection.com\/blog\/which-granite-looks-like-marble\/\">huge selection of colors<\/a>, patterns, and finishes. Most importantly, this material always looks elegant and expensive.<\/p>\n<p>And it doesn&#8217;t only look like that \u2013 it is expensive to install a whole shower wall made out of quartz.<\/p>\n<p>But how should you clean quartz shower walls? Actually, the process isn\u2019t much different from countertops. Therefore, if you know how to clean quartz countertops in bathroom, you will know how to care for shower walls.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/graniteselection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Guide-to-cleaning-quartz-in-bathroom.jpg\" alt=\"Guide to cleaning quartz in bathroom\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/graniteselection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Guide-to-cleaning-quartz-in-bathroom.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/graniteselection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Guide-to-cleaning-quartz-in-bathroom-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/graniteselection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Guide-to-cleaning-quartz-in-bathroom-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here are some useful tips:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Clean the shower walls regularly<\/li>\n<li>Use warm soapy water without high alkaline cleaners<\/li>\n<li>A soft cloth or a sponge is the best tools for cleanup<\/li>\n<li>If you want to polish the quartz counters \u2013 use cleaners made for marble or <a href=\"https:\/\/graniteselection.com\/blog\/understanding-the-differences-between-quartz-countertops-or-granite-countertops\/\">granite<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What NOT to Do<\/h2>\n<p>Now that you know how to clean quartz countertops, let&#8217;s move on to the next important issue. What is it?<\/p>\n<p>We are talking about keeping your quartz counters in the perfect condition. How do you make sure that they remain in a flawless state for many years to come? It is not that hard \u2013 you just need to remember what to avoid when cleaning quartz countertops in your bathroom.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Stay away from high alkaline and acidic substances.<\/h3>\n<p>Firstly, forget about things like abrasive, acidic cleaners, and other alkaline cleaning solutions. In addition to that, don&#8217;t even think about using sealers, as well as furniture or paint strippers. Otherwise, your bathroom cleaning will end up in a disaster. Warm water and soap is everything you will ever need to clean quartz shower walls and countertops.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Don\u2019t use harsh materials.<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, most of the quartz countertops are scratch-resistant. However, they are not scratch-immune. Please, don\u2019t confuse these terms. You should use a soft sponge or a piece of cloth to wipe the water off the quartz. This way, you won&#8217;t accidentally damage it.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Clean up without delay.<\/h3>\n<p>If you somehow manage to spill something on your quartz surface \u2013 don\u2019t leave it stained for long. We recommend wiping off the countertop right away immediately. Otherwise, the stain can become permanent (or a real pain to wash away).<\/p>\n<p>Sounds simple enough? Yes, it really is that obvious. Keep these tips in mind to prolong your bathroom&#8217;s beautiful outlook for as long as possible.<\/p>\n<style>.blog-cta{width:100%;overflow:hidden;background:none}img.blog-cta__img{position:absolute;z-index:-1;object-fit:cover;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%}<\/style><div class=\"blog-cta blog-cta--layout disabled-focus\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"background image\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"blog-cta__img\" src=\"https:\/\/graniteselection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/arctic-white-quartz.jpg\" \/><button class=\"blog-cta__close\"><span class=\"fa fa-times\"><\/span><\/button><div class=\"blog-cta-grid\"><div class=\"blog-cta-grid__col\"><p>\nLooking for a quartz countertop to update your bathroom?
