How do I clean and maintain my quartz countertops? +
-
Guava countertops are easy to maintain. Clean them daily with a soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent mixed with warm water. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or pads, as these can damage the surface. For tougher spots, use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for quartz surfaces.

Can I place hot pots directly on my countertop? +
-
It’s recommended to use trivets or hot pads under hot pots and pans to prevent heat damage. While materials like quartz and granite are heat-resistant, they are not heat-proof, and direct exposure to high temperatures can cause discoloration or cracking.

How can I prevent scratches? +
-
1. Use a Cutting Board: Always use a cutting board when preparing food. Although quartz is scratch-resistant, it’s not scratch-proof, and direct cutting on the surface can leave marks.
2. Keep Sharp Objects Away: Avoid dragging sharp objects, like knives or heavy metal items, across the surface.

Can Rockton surfaces be damaged by heat? +

Rockton is highly heat-resistant, making it ideal for kitchen countertops. However, it’s still recommended to use trivets or hot pads to prevent thermal shock, which can occur when a very hot item is placed directly on a cold surface, potentially causing cracks.
