    Use a wet dish cloth or paper towel to “soak” those stuck on spots while you clean other areas… quite often comes off without having to use any scratch off pad.

    If you have dark quartz and use baking soda or bar keepers you'll notice a bit of color difference. It's because dark quartz absorbs oils and will darken over time. Just clean the whole counter like you did the spot, and it will all match. I freaked the first time I cleaned a spot. After calling the countertop company, the guy told me what to do. Also, be very careful with dark quartz, you can still scratch or even chip it! It's not as carefree as you're led to believe!! But it is beautiful! One other thing... be sure to keep the area around your faucet dried! Water will leave white crusty marks that are a bear to get off!!!

    Thank you for making this video!I have learned so much about cleaning from you. I have been using Lysol and Mrs. Meyers on my quartz countertops, but Mrs. Meyers doesn't seem to do much. I have some calcification behind the faucet on my quartz countertop in the bathroom, and a bit of makeup residue in the same place. Do you recommend I let the dish soap solution soak and then use something like Bon Ami to break it up?

    I was just thinking about if products like Bon ami is safe on quartz countertop and what’s best to use. This video is helpful. I would avoid using magic eraser as I have took the varnish right off and it’s also not wood friendly for the same reason. I would recommend test it on a small surface on a hidden area first.

    Looks like they claim it to be safe on the website. I just worry that it’s a little too acidic… The average PH for that is around 5.5 - 7 depending on the water being used. If it’s closer to the 7 PH range I would use it.

    Kathy, yes! People don't realize quartz will scratch!! If the scratches aren't deep, you can try bar keepers. Just remember, since quartz scratches, bar keepers can scratch if rubbed too hard! So go over scratches lightly! If your counter is dark, you'll have to do the whole thing. Otherwise, you'll notice a color difference. I do mine periodically, and they come out beautiful. If the scratches are deeper, you will most likely need to call a countertop store and see if they can be professionally sanded and buffed. And don't use abrasive pads!! But do use cuttingboards!! Best of luck!

    Any idea why black dots will suddenly appear on quarts countertops? wasn't there before and it's multiplying. Some go away when I wipe is down with dawn and sponge, others smear and impossible to come off. Contractor has never seen it before and tried white vinegar and didn't work. I tried white eraser, nothing, lastly did the baking soda paste and it made the ones that were smeared, lighter and some of the dots disappeared but I have a lot that smeared. Any thoughts why these black dots appear on white and ombre countertop and how to prevent them from smearing or growing more? HELP
