Silestone® Quartz is a cleaner, safer surface. With the unique combination of built-in Microban
protection, National Sanitation Foundation Certification and GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certification, Silestone
Quartz is easier to clean and keep cleaner. Silestone is safe for areas where food preparation could take place and
protects the quality of your indoor environment.
Silestone Quartz Daily Cleaning Routine
For Silestone Quartz with a polished finish, we recommend you use a mild household cleaner, such as
409®, Fantastik®, Lysol®, or Windex®. In case of stubborn spills or stains, soak the area for up to 10 minutes with
one of the above cleaners and vigorously wipe away with a Scotch Brite® pad.
Silestone® Leather™ does show daily living more frequently and therefore requires more daily
maintenance than other Silestone Quartz products. For your daily cleaning routine we recommend Countertop
Magic™ follow instructions on bottle of cleaner.
Silestone Quartz Common Use
The natural quartz in Silestone makes it the toughest interior surface available on the market. It
resists scratching, staining and scorching better than any other natural stone or solid surface. Do avoid excessive
force or pressure because that may mar or chip the surface. Don't worry about spills from coffee, wine, lemon juice,
olive oil, vinegar, makeup, and many other common household products; just avoid harsh chemicals. And don't worry about
dropping a lit match onto your Silestone countertop; it won't scorch. But, use trivets when placing any hot items to
avoid thermal shock.
CAUTION
The following will harm Silestone Quartz: Drano®, Liquid Plumr®, oven cleaners and floor strippers.
Do NOT use these or any other harsh chemicals on your Silestone surface.
CAUTION
Do NOT use crock pots or electric skillets while in direct contact with your Silestone surfaces.
Always place them on a trivet or cutting board to protect your countertop. (Review your electric appliance manual as
a reference.) Silestone is a stone product. As with any natural stone, certain exposure to heat may cause cracks due
to thermal shock.
