quartzite counter care

Just installed our countertops and they are so pretty I'm scared to even use them now. I've read previous discussions about sealing them properly and not placing certain types of food on them, but for those with quartzite counters I would appreciate detailed care advice!

I’ve had my quartzite counters for 8+ years and don’t do anything special. Sometimes I clean/polish with a spray for stone, but mostly because I like the way it smells. I don’t have any etching, but I do have just some general dullness from use compared to the new polished, probably microscopic scratches that could be buffed out. I like yours better than mine:)

I have Taj Mahal quartzite, which is one of the more durable and stain proof quartzites. Not sealed and I don't used anything special/different for cleaning.

The "white" quartzites aren't usually as hardy. What is the name of yours?

Yeah I've heard the same. It’ called bianca superior. For everyday cleaning is alcohol better or soap with water?
