If a stain occurs, make a paste of baking soda and water or use a commercial stain removing poultice. Though the maintenance practice followed for granite and quartzite are similar to each other. The cleaning of quartzite needs a minimal maintenance routine when compared to the natural stones of other types. The acidic properties in these cleaners can deteriorate the sealer, causing your countertop to lose polish and be vulnerable to stains. Avoid using Citrus based cleaners like vinegar and lemon or abrasives that can damage the work surface of the countertop. After the counters are wiped with soap solution, dry the surface clean to avoid any moisture from settling down. Though they are scratch-resistant, avoid using abrasive cleaners on the surface which eventually will wear out the polish. Sealing is recommended once a year if the quartzite slab is dense and less porous. Quartzite worktops are porous in nature, they need to be properly sealed to avoid staining and bacterial and fungal contaminations. Quartzite is a low-cost maintenance material for quartzite kitchen tops. The natural stone worktops are also found in tones of Beige, blue, brown, dark grey, golden, green, grey, and white.Ĭleaning and Maintenance of Quartzite countertops Veining and pattern on quartzite are irregular and inconsistent on visualization. Quartzite is commonly found in shades of grey and white quartzite countertops, grey quartzite is most loved by many and some quartzite stones appear to have pinkish or reddish hues due to the presence of iron oxide. The composition is dominated by quartz, but originally the sandstone contains some clay minerals and other minerals such as feldspar, fragments of rock that invade the stone in the form of impurities. This natural stone surface is a metamorphosed sandstone.
Quartzite is a medium grain with interlocking quartz. Quartzite stone has a granular sugar-like texture and quartz-rich sandstone elicits an earthier feel and granular in appearance.
Quartzite is a natural stone consisting of 90-99% quartz grains bound together with silica, the stone is formed underneath the surface of the earth where sandstone rich in quartz is reformed under high heat and pressure.
