Any suggestions on quartz cleaning and maintenance?

New home w white quartz and we are finding out that white quartz may not be easy to maintain w kids and guests. We already had the dye from a bread bag label bleed into it and flower petals also were left on the counter and got in.

Both have already left faint stains in spite of rigorous attempts at removing the stains.

It appears a careful use of nail polish remover as outlines above might help now then protection/prevention in future if polish doesn't protect. It WAS sealed/polished by installer, correct?

I might experiment with a variety of solutions on that bread bag's dye first to see what dissolves it fastest, then see which might be safest for quartz.


What did the supplier/installer suggest that you might share with the rest of us?

DuPont makes a clay based cleanser that pulls stuff out. We had bad stain on old granite and it sucked it all out.

I've also used bar keepers friend on our quartz and it has pulled stuff out as well.

Bar keepers friend would be my first try. We have light quartz and I used a bit of Goof Off on a place where some flower pollen left a stain. It removed the stain and didn't do anything to the quartz. YMMV

Barkeeper's Friend. Use the liquid kind, not the powder.

If that doesn't work, try a magic eraser.

I have Taj Mahal quartz
The baking soda paste with plastic wrap over trick for a few days has pulled out everything so far

yup - the DuPont stuff I mention above is very similar.
