Countertop Care Tips

Practical Guidance for Maintaining Beautiful Surfaces—And Where to Turn When Damage Occurs

Caring for Your Countertops: Essential Tips by Material

Countertops are an essential part of any kitchen, bathroom, or workspace. Whether you have granite, laminate, quartz, or wood surfaces, proper care helps maintain their beauty and functionality. However, even with diligent maintenance, accidents and wear can lead to damage. Fix & Co., is here to help restore your countertops when the unexpected occurs.

Granite

·      Clean regularly with mild soap and warm water; avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners.

·      Wipe up spills promptly, especially oils, wine, and acidic juices.

·      Seal the surface annually to prevent staining and maintain lustre.

·      Use cutting boards and trivets to prevent scratches and thermal shock.

Laminate

·      Wipe with a damp cloth and gentle cleanser—avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.

·      Do not cut directly on the surface; use cutting boards to avoid gouges.

·      Avoid placing hot pots or pans directly on laminate to prevent burns or bubbling.

Quartz

·      Clean with a soft cloth and non-abrasive household cleaner.

·      Avoid harsh chemicals and high heat exposure.

·      Use coasters and placemats to protect against stains and scratches.

Wood/Butcher Block

·      Wipe spills immediately to prevent water damage and warping.

·      Disinfect with a vinegar-water solution or gentle soap—never soak with water.

·      Oil the surface regularly with food-safe mineral oil to prevent drying and cracking.

·      Use cutting boards to avoid knife marks.

Marble

·      Clean with pH-neutral cleaners; avoid acidic substances like lemon or vinegar.

·      Seal regularly to protect against stains and etching.

·      Wipe up spills right away, especially oils and citrus juices.
