Quartz Benefits
Straight from the Nature
Quartz is a 100% naturally occurring and common substance often found together (or as a component of) granite, and is exceptionally hard. This makes quartz the ideal material to create durable surfaces that can be transformed into almost any color and a variety of designs
Small footprint
Guava Quartz is over 90% natural quartz, and it uses recycling processes in its production to reduce its environmental impact. Meeting the highest industry standards for hygienic surfaces, Guava Quartz is safe, low maintenance and long lasting
Care and Maintenance
Guava Quartz is a high quality, low maintenance surface that, if properly cared for, will last a lifetime. By following these few simple instructions, your Guava Quartz surface will be maintained in good condition and retain its original beauty
For general daily cleaning, use mild soap and warm water, and rinse thoroughly for the best result. For spots and products that may stain, use a soft cloth or a non-scratch scrub pad, and a mild non-abrasive cleanser, with a neutral PH. Excessively high or low PH might damage the surface
Try to remove all potentially staining products as soon as possible. For dried residue, a flat object such as a plastic knife can be used to gently scrape off the sticking material
Almost any material, no matter how tough, is susceptible to scratching, and Guava Quartz is no exception. Never chop or cut directly on the quartz surface, but always use a cutting board or some other protective surface to prevent scratching
Direct contact with extremely high heat can cause damage to Guava Quartz. Never place very hot pots, pans, kettles or other objects directly on the Guava Quartz surface. Always use a hot pad or trivet
Take care to avoid spilling harsh chemicals such as drain cleaners, paint strippers, oven cleaners, bleaches, etc on your Guava Quartz countertop. Guava Quartz can be permanently damaged by exposure to strong chemicals and solvents that undermine its physical properties. Should your surface accidentally be exposed to any of these damaging products, rinse immediately with water to neutralize the effect
