The short answer

Simple everyday care

Quartz cleans with just soap and water.

Mild washing-up liquid, a soft cloth, and prompt attention to spills.

Things you need

Sealing required

In one paragraph

Cleaning quartz countertops is straightforward. For everyday cleaning, all you need is warm water, a little mild washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Wipe spills promptly, dry the surface, and that is usually all it takes. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, which are not needed and can dull the finish over time. Because quartz is non-porous, it never needs sealing. To keep quartz in good condition long term, read how to maintain quartz worktops and whether quartz stains.

The full answer

Cleaning quartz countertops, step by step

The everyday routine

For day-to-day cleaning, warm water with a little mild washing-up liquid and a soft cloth or sponge is all you need. Wipe the surface, then dry it with a clean cloth to avoid streaks. This simple routine keeps quartz looking its best, because the non-porous surface does not let grime soak in. Our FAQ on how to maintain quartz worktops covers the wider routine.

Dealing with spills

Wipe spills as soon as you notice them. Because quartz is non-porous, spills from wine, coffee, oil and citrus sit on the surface rather than soaking in, so prompt wiping usually leaves no trace. Our FAQ on whether quartz stains explains why this works.

Handling dried or stubborn marks

For anything dried on, a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth, or a plastic scraper used gently, will usually lift it. There is no need for aggressive scrubbing. If a mark proves stubborn, our FAQ on how to remove stains from quartz worktops covers the steps in more detail.

What to avoid

Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners, scouring pads and bleach-heavy products. They are simply not needed for quartz and can dull the polished finish over time. Stick to mild soap and water for everyday use. Our FAQ on whether quartz is resistant to chemicals covers this further.

Why quartz is easy to clean

The reason quartz is so easy to clean is that it is non-porous, so nothing soaks in and there is no sealant to maintain. This is one of its biggest practical advantages over porous natural stone. Precious Marble supplies, fabricates and fits quartz from its Elstow base. See the Quartz Worktops Bedford page to start.

Frequently asked

Common questions

How do you clean quartz countertops?

For everyday cleaning, use warm water with a little mild washing-up liquid and a soft cloth or sponge, then dry the surface with a clean cloth. Wipe spills promptly. Because quartz is non-porous, this simple routine is usually all that is needed.

What should you not use to clean quartz?

Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners, scouring pads and bleach-heavy products. They are not needed for quartz and can dull the polished finish over time. Mild soap and water is enough for everyday cleaning.

Do quartz countertops need sealing?

No. Quartz is non-porous, so it never needs sealing. This is one of its biggest practical advantages over porous natural stones such as granite and marble, which do require regular sealing.

How do you remove dried marks from quartz?

For anything dried on, a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth, or a plastic scraper used gently, will usually lift it without aggressive scrubbing. If a mark proves stubborn, more detailed stain-removal steps can help.

The short answer

Common thickness options

Quartz comes in a few standard thicknesses.

The choice affects the look, from slim and modern to solid and substantial.

Common thicknesses

Choice to make

In one paragraph

Quartz worktops come in a few standard thicknesses, and the choice affects both the look and the feel of the finished worktop. Slimmer slabs give a sleek, contemporary look, while thicker slabs give a more solid, substantial impression. A worktop can also be made to look thicker than the slab itself by building up the edge. Your supplier will explain which thicknesses suit your kitchen and your chosen design. To understand the wider choices, read quartz worktop edge profiles explained and how heavy quartz worktops are.

Quartz worktop thickness, explained

Standard thickness options

Quartz slabs are produced in a few standard thicknesses. Rather than there being one correct answer, the common options give you a choice between a slimmer or a more substantial look. Your supplier will explain the specific thicknesses they offer. Our FAQ on what a quartz worktop is covers the slab itself.

How thickness affects the look

A slimmer slab gives a sleek, minimal, contemporary look that suits modern kitchens. A thicker slab gives a solid, substantial, sometimes more traditional impression. Neither is better; it is about the look you want.

Building up the edge

It is also worth knowing that a worktop can be made to look thicker than the actual slab by building up the edge during fabrication. This gives the substantial appearance of a thick worktop, and a good fabricator can advise on this. Our FAQ on quartz worktop edge profiles explained covers edge work.

Thickness, weight and support

Thickness relates to weight, and a quartz worktop needs proper support from the units beneath it. This is part of why skilled fitting matters and is handled by your fabricator. Our FAQ on how heavy quartz worktops are covers this.

Choosing your thickness

The right thickness depends on the look you want and your kitchen design. A good supplier will talk you through the options and how they pair with edge profiles. Precious Marble fabricates in-house from Bedford. See the Quartz Worktops Bedford page to start.
