Can Lemon Juice Damage My Quartz Worktop?
Yes. Quartz Worktops are famously known for being non-porous and easy to maintain, so why can they stain or discolour? Quartz is a man-made stone made up of Quartz, Resin, and Minerals. However, the resin in the composition can react with some liquids, leading to discolouration. Highly acidic liquids such as lemon, lime, vinegar or bleach will react with the resin in the worktops.
To clean your worktops;
- Wipe away any spills immediately.
- Avoid using harsh cleaners.
- For stubborn stains you can use The Pink Stuff, Astonish The Original Cleaning Paste or Cif.
- Avoid acidic, alkaline, or bleach-based cleaners
Can Lemon Juice Damage My Granite or Marble Worktops?
Yes. Both Marble and Granite are porous stones which means that liquids can pass through easily. Lemon, lime, vinegar or anything acidic will bleach the stone and leave white spots/marks on the surface. It is important to seal your worktops regularly to protect it against liquid and stain absorption.
