Try to clean with warm water and vinegar. A 50/50 blend

The heading of OP's thread says quartz counters.

If it is ink, google suggests rubbing alcohol on a cloth, or magic eraser. Whatever you experiment with, I'd start on a small area to test it out. Good luck.

But that would mean one should not only read the thread topic, and all of the posts

This has to be The SNARKIEST stream I’ve read this far.

Mild soap and water should clean it up.

Barkeeper’s friend for quartz - the liquid form is easy to use, with a scrubbing sponge. In the cleaning products aisle at your local grocery, near the Comet cleanser.

Read the online news source once it's clean, much more entertaining.

Magic erasers work on just about any surface we use them on especially counter tops.

Try Bar Keepers which is sold in most grocery stores

I just had Cambria installed and was told not to use anything with ammonia.

Thieves is a product from young living( essential oils) that works great on stone granite quartz and very safe. On occasion if there is a stubborn stain use windex, but don’t make a habit of it.

Yes they all use SOY ink now.

Bleach.

Absolutely not.
