Vicostone Quartz Care and Maintenance: Elevate Longevity and Luxury
Vicostone quartz is an exquisite choice for countertops, vanities, and other interior surfaces, known for its durability, non-porous composition, and luxurious visual appeal. Whether you are a design-savvy homeowner or a seasoned trade professional, understanding proper Vicostone quartz care and maintenance ensures your surface retains its brilliance for decades.
At Zicana Boutique, where form meets functionality, we value the craftsmanship and innovation behind engineered quartz surfaces like Vicostone. In this guide, we’ll explore expert care techniques, cleaning tips, preventative practices, and how to enhance the value of your investment—backed by a curated, luxury material selection unmatched in the industry.
Daily Cleaning for Vicostone Quartz Surfaces
Routine maintenance for Vicostone quartz is refreshingly simple. Because it is non-porous and resistant to bacteria and mold, you do not need heavy-duty cleaners. However, regular upkeep does preserve its lasting elegance.
- Use a soft microfiber cloth or non-abrasive sponge with mild dish soap and warm water.
- Avoid harsh chemicals such as bleach, oven cleaners, or products containing trichloroethane or methylene chloride.
- Rinse with clean water to eliminate residue and wipe dry to prevent streaks.

Tackling Stubborn Stains the Right Way
While Vicostone quartz is highly stain-resistant, occasional spills from coffee, wine, or oil may leave residues. Immediate cleanup is recommended, but if a stain persists, follow these techniques:
- Apply a non-abrasive pH-balanced cleaner designed for quartz.
- For dried substances like food or nail polish, gently scrape with a plastic spatula followed by a soft wet cloth.
- Isopropyl alcohol diluted with water may help break down oil-based stains—be sure to rinse thoroughly after.
Expert tip: Never use abrasive pads or powders, which can compromise the polished finish of quartz and cause dulling over time.
Preventative Measures to Preserve Beauty
Preventative care is the cornerstone of Vicostone quartz longevity. While these surfaces are heat- and scratch-resistant, no material is fully indestructible when subjected to neglect.
- Always use trivets or heat pads under hot cookware to avoid thermal shock.
- Use cutting boards to prevent scratches—even though quartz is durable, repeated knife cuts dull both the blade and the surface.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or UV rays, which can cause discoloration in some cases.
Integrating smart practices balances function with finesse—just like our Made-to-Measure Custom Countertops, where tailored elegance results in flawless perfection.
Best Products to Use for Cleaning Quartz
Choosing the right products for surface care allows you to enjoy the full potential of your Vicostone quartz surface without compromise. Consider the following product categories:
- Quartz-specific cleaners that are non-acidic, such as stone-safe sprays.
- Alcohol-based disinfectants to sanitize without damaging finish.
- Naturally derived or eco-friendly surfactants that avoid unnecessary chemical buildup over time.

Protecting Your Investment with Professional Maintenance Tips
While day-to-day cleaning is easy, periodic professional evaluations or resealing checks (though quartz typically requires no sealing) are recommended for high-use areas such as kitchen islands or vanities in hospitality venues.
Trade professionals—including architects, fabricators, and interior designers—also value these practices when working across commercial and luxury residential projects. At Zicana Boutique, we offer premium surface options, including top-tier quartz selections like the Spectrum Quartz Collection and Raphael Quartz Collection.

FAQs About Vicostone Quartz Care and Maintenance
Can I place hot pans directly on Vicostone quartz?
No. Although Vicostone quartz is heat-resistant, direct contact can cause thermal damage. Always use a heat pad or trivet to protect the surface from extreme temperature shifts.
Does Vicostone quartz require sealing like natural granite?
No. Vicostone quartz is engineered as a non-porous material. Unlike granite or marble, it never requires sealing, which makes it ideal for low-maintenance luxury environments.
How can I remove dried food or sticky residue from quartz countertops?
Use a soft plastic scraper to gently dislodge hardened debris, then clean with a soft cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid steel wool or abrasive cleaning pads.
Are there any cleaners I should avoid on Vicostone quartz?
Yes. Avoid using bleach, nail polish remover, strong acids, or alkaline cleaners, as they may degrade the resin and polish over time. Stick to quartz-safe or pH-neutral products for longevity.
