Hi,

i need help with what to use to remove stains from quartz ( we moved into this, I’m assuming it’s Quartz) surrounding the sink there are many stains/ deposits which won’t budge. Also any time I place something (the Lid to something) on the countertop or someone drops water , leaves a cup, it will leave a mark or ring, how do I remove that?

there’s also a kettle stain (ring) from previously

can we use sponge like scotch brite green and yellow ones??

Thanks in advance

Etched marble will only look worse if you try to use CLR on it.

You've got to verify exactly what the material is before you can begin a solution. Pull a drawer or two and look up at the bottom of the top. If it's engineered stone, there should be a company logo stamped in ink.

Verify what you got and look in manufacturer care guides. I have Caesarstone quartz, looked in their care guides, used soft scrub with bleach with microfiber towel as recommended - it removed all water spots.
