Q is a beautiful, durable and resilient countertop surface that will provide you with many years of trouble free performance. For everyday cleaning use a soft sponge or dishcloth with warm water.

For stubborn or greasy clean-ups use a gentle liquid cleaner like Mr. Clean, 409, Simple Green, Fantastic etc. or ordinary dish washing detergent e.g. Palmolive with warm water.

Do not use abrasive cleaning pads that contain aluminum oxide (the same abrasive in sand paper) which may dull Q’s finish. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents such as regular Comet and Ajax. If needed, Bon Ami and Bar Keepers Friend are both approved non-abrasive cleaning powders that will clean without affecting Q’s finish.

Don’t allow your Q countertop to come in contact with drain cleaners, paint strippers, or products containing Hydrofluoric acid, Methylene chloride, Trichloroethylene or any product with a very high or very low PH. These types of chemicals may etch or discolor the surface.

There is no need to seal your Q countertop.

Q is scorch resistant and under normal conditions is not affected. Always use a trivet or hot pad between Q and any heat generating device including but not limited to crock pots, deep fryers, hot pots and pans or electric skillets. Sudden or rapid change of temperature or sustained heating, especially near edges and cut outs, may cause your countertop to crack.

Follow these simple care and maintenance guidelines and your Q countertop will provide you with many years of trouble free use.
