Stain on quartz

8 years ago

Our contractor put something on our quartz countertops that stained and I cannot get it out. I am trying to remove the stain before we seal the quartz. It is metropolis grey from AZ tile. Does anyone have any ideas on how to remove the stain? Thank you!

The safest thing to use is dishwashing liquid, a damp cloth, and elbow grease ;) You might also try putting a poultice of water and baking soda on and leaving it overnight, then gently wiping it off with a damp cloth. That's worked for me on a couple of minor stains. Be very careful about using anything abrasive.

Incidentally, quartz doesn't need sealing, so far as I know.

If the dishwashing liquid or baking Soda do not work then ask your GC what he used on it. If he stained it and it won't come out then it is his problem. Polished Quartz does not need to be sealed. Is it polished or honed?
