Quartz Countertops Dirty
 
We have noticed over a period of time the countertops on our island where we read the paper in the morning has started to discolored. I’m thinking it is from the ink in the newspaper. Is there a way to safely clean this white countertop? Thanks

Weiman Products is a trusted name.

There are also kits that can cost over $100 for major issues.

Google is your friend.

Many newspapers have gone to organic inks, so I would look into cleaners for this type of material and the type of counter top that you have.

What are your countertops made of? Quartz? Granite? Something else? Do you know the manufacturer or installer? If so, call them.

Au contraire...Google is a source, but certainly not your friend. :)

What does Google is your friend mean?
(Internet slang) A suggestion that the addressee could learn something using an Internet search engine, rather than asking others.

i.e. Someone is not smart enough to provide a thoughtful answer to OP's question.

Feel better??..............hope your happiness improves.



as defined, it's someone who gave the OP a suggestion..........nothing to do with smart enough.

I clean hard to remove spots on my white quartz with a nylon scrubby and dawn soap. I also use an extra large dish drying mat to lay my newspaper on to eliminate ink transfer. When done I fold the cloth mat and put it away until next time....and it washes easily. Hope this helps.

When you have the compelling need to comment on every thread ever posted, displaying intelligence (or the lack of), isn't a primary concern.
