Plutus Quartz Low Maintenance
Plutus Quartz is designed to offer high performance with low maintenance, and being non-porous it will never need sealing or waxing. Only a little common sense is needed to care for your Plutus Quartz surface.
Stain Resistance.
Plutus Quartz has been tested and due to its low moisture absorption, is resistant to stains caused by wine, fruit juices, liquid food colouring, tea and spices with strong colours.
Damaged Benchtop Edge & Surface
A damaged benchtop edge or surface (including the stone edge for an under-mount sink) is not indicative of defective material. The Plutus 10-year Limited Warranty does not cover edge or surface damage, such as chipping or scratching caused by wear and tear or negligence caused by Fabrication/Installation or damaged by any heavy objects.
General Care
Stubborn Stains and Dried Spills
For dried spills, remove solids first. A wet cotton cloth is recommended for any stubborn stains. Avoid forceful scrubbing as this may result in a loss of shine. Rinse well with water. Do not use bleach on or near a Plutus Quartz surface. For Interior applications only. Plutus Quartz should not be used outdoors. The Plutus Marbles Llc. warranties do not cover exterior applications (where Plutus Quartz is exposed to weather conditions). Exposure to direct sunlight may result in a colour change and it is therefore recommended that exposure to direct sunlight is limited.
Heat Resistance
Placing hot items directly onto your Plutus Quartz benchtop is not recommended. Although Plutus Quartz has high heat resistance, excessive localized heat may result in damage to your Plutus Quartz due to thermal shock.
Maintenance:
- To keep your Plutus Quartz clean, simply wash with a soft cloth, warm water and a pH neutral household liquid detergent.
