Read on to discover expert-approved methods for cleaning Vicostone quartz without damaging its finish—and take advantage of a beautiful offer from Zicana Boutique while you're here.

What Makes Vicostone Quartz Unique?

Vicostone quartz is a premium engineered surface designed to emulate the elegance of natural stone with added durability and low porosity. Unlike natural materials such as marble or travertine, Vicostone is nonporous, meaning it resists staining and bacterial growth. It comes in a wide variety of finishes, from high-gloss to matte velvets, and in colorways that cater to contemporary, transitional, and classical aesthetics alike.

Thanks to this unique composition, Vicostone provides superior scratch and impact resistance. But despite its durability, aggressive cleaners or improper maintenance can dull the surface or leave behind unwanted residue. Proper care practices are essential to preserve its luxurious finish.

Daily Cleaning Methods for Vicostone Quartz

For regular maintenance, use the simplest method: warm water and a soft cloth.

• Step 1: Dampen a microfiber cloth or sponge with warm water.
• Step 2: Wipe the surface in a circular motion to lift dust, crumbs, or water spots.
• Step 3: If needed, apply a few drops of pH-neutral dish soap to break down grease and wipe again.
• Step 4: Rinse the cloth and wipe the surface to remove any soap residue.
• Step 5: Buff dry with a lint-free microfiber towel to restore sheen.

Avoid using harsh scrub sponges that could create superficial scratches, especially on polished finishes. Maintaining your Vicostone quartz this way ensures it retains its showroom-quality brilliance.

How to Remove Stubborn Stains from Quartz Surfaces

Although Vicostone resists most stains, occasional mishaps with wine, coffee, tomato sauce, or cosmetics can call for deeper cleaning. Here's how to safely tackle them:

• Use a non-abrasive cleaner: Brands like Method, Soft Scrub Gel (without bleach), or any stone-safe spray can be applied with a soft cloth.
• Let sit, then wipe: Allow the cleaner to sit for 2–5 minutes before wiping away gently. For hard-to-remove spots, use a plastic putty knife to scrape away residue carefully.
• Avoid acidic agents: Stay away from vinegar, lemon juice, and ammonia, which can discolor or dull the quartz resin.

In commercial or heavy-use kitchens, a spray bottle filled with warm water and mild soap can remain on hand for quick degreasing.

What to Avoid When Cleaning Vicostone

Preserving the finish of Vicostone requires avoiding certain common cleaning mistakes. Here are critical do-not’s for stone professionals and discerning homeowners:

• No bleach or abrasive cleansers: These can etch or cloud the surface.
• No strong solvents: Acetone, paint removers, and oven cleaners will degrade the resin binder.
• No steel wool or scouring pads: These may leave fine scratches that dull the surface.
• Don’t apply excessive force: Especially on edges or seams—use plastic tools only to dislodge stuck-on residue.

Proper cleaning extends longevity and beauty without the need for re-polishing or refinishing. It’s an essential part of owning investment-grade quartz surfaces.

Protecting Vicostone for Long-Term Brilliance

For homeowners focused on preserving high-performance aesthetics—and trade professionals managing multiple installations—incorporating these protective best practices can improve lifespan while reducing service and replacement calls:

• Use trivets or hot pads under pots, pans, and coffee machines to prevent thermal shock.
• Wipe spills quickly to prevent dried residues, especially from colored liquids.
• Avoid using as a cutting surface—always use a board to prevent long-term surface fatigue.
• Educate clients or users on routine maintenance to uphold warranty requirements.

Zicana Boutique’s expert concierge team also offers personalized material consultations. For projects requiring Made-to-Measure Custom Countertops, we ensure Vicostone and other quartz options are fabricated to the highest professional standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Use Windex or Glass Cleaner on Vicostone Quartz?

Avoid household glass cleaners, especially those containing ammonia or alcohol. These can weaken the bonding agents in the resin. Instead, choose pH-balanced cleaners designed for quartz or surface-specific mild detergent diluted with warm water.

Does Vicostone Require Sealing?

No. One of the advantages of Vicostone over natural stones like granite or limestone is that it does not require sealing. Its nonporous structure resists moisture and stains inherently, offering maintenance simplicity and unmatched indoor hygiene.

How Can I Restore Shine if My Quartz Looks Dull?

If dullness is caused by detergent buildup or hard water, simply clean the surface using warm water and a stone-safe degreaser, then buff dry with a microfiber cloth. For matte finishes, avoid using polish or waxes—they may leave a filmy residue.

Is It Safe to Use a Disinfectant Wipe on Vicostone?

Occasionally, yes. Choose alcohol-based disinfectants that are quartz-safe, and rinse afterward to prevent any chemical reaction or surface dulling. Avoid bleach or citrus-infused wipes.
