Quartzite countertops
How to maintain quartzite worktops?
Kwartsiet is een metamorf gesteente gevormd uit zandsteen, door hitte en hoge druk smolten de kwartsmineralen samen tot een zeer compact en hard gesteente dat zuur-, hitte- en krasbestendige is. Zo leent kwartsiet zich uitstekend voor allerlei binnen en buiten toepassingen. Omwille van zijn mooie marmerlooks en onderhoudsvriendelijkheid is het een zeer geliefd en duurzaam materiaal voor keukenwerbladen.
FIRST TREATMENT
Worktops in quartzite should be protected preventively with an impregnating product. Use a product with oleophobic properties so that the stone is optimally protected against soiling, especially the penetration of oils and greases.
Suitable products are Akemi Anti Stain Pearl Impregnator (colourless) or Akemi Colour Diluter Transformer Max (colour diluting).
Check out our handy applicators for homogeneous application and buffing of impregnating product.
MAINTENANCE
As a daily maintenance cleaner, we recommend Akemi Crystal Clean Spray. This product cleans and degreases, dries quickly and is veil-free. Safe for all materials.
Use Akemi Triple Effect once a month. This 3-in-1 product cleans, conditions and protects. It supports and supplements the effectiveness of existing impregnations.
CLEAN
To remove grease films, maintenance layers and absorbed food residues, we recommend Akemi Natural Stone Basic Cleaner Spray. Use this powerful cleaner only if your daily maintenance cleaner is not sufficient.
Also use this spray to thoroughly clean the worktop before an impregnation aftertreatment.
PROTECT
An after-treatment is best done once or twice a year. Here we recommend Akemi Stain Repellent Nano.
