Care and Maintenance Guide for your
Quantum Surface
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Congratulations on your recent purchase of QuantumSix+ (Q6+). With proper installation, care and maintenance you should have many years of trouble free enjoyment from our product.
Although Q6+ is heat resistant it is advised that you do not place hot pots (or other hot items) directly on the surface. Please use a mat, trivet or similar item to shield the product from direct heat. There is no issue using Q6+ on your splash back behind your gas burner.
While Q6+ is scratch resistant it is not scratch proof. It will perform great under normal conditions. Please try to avoid harsh contact with metal objects such as knives, tools, etc.
If you have used Q6+ as a bench top, it is recommended that you do not sit or stand on your bench. The performance of Q6+ will rely on the strength of your substrate supporting the bench.
Q6+ is virtually non‐porous and does not require any sealing. Do not attempt to seal this product.
Avoid contact with harsh chemicals such as oven cleaners, paint strippers, etc.
CLEANING / MAINTENANCE
While Q6+ is resistant to staining it is strongly recommended that you clean spills as they occur. The more days that a stubborn stain sits on the surface the (potentially) harder it may be to remove.
Stains
For stubborn stains consider a non‐abrasive cleaning product such as Quantum Quartz Cream Cleanser which is available for sale at wk.com.au. Dilute with warm water and rub gently in a circular motion. Rinse thoroughly and remove any residue.
It is important that you follow your cleaning product’s instructions. Test the cleaning product on an inconspicuous part of the stone if you are unsure.
Foreign Objects
For foreign objects (gum, glue, etc) sticking to the surface use a plastic scraper or spatula to gently remove item.
Flooring
It is recommended that you vacuum surface to remove any loose grit and other small items. General Cleaning
Use soap and water with a soft cloth. A variety of non‐abrasive low/ neutral pH products are acceptable for use. Always remove residue to complete the process.
Do not leave soapy water on Q6+ to dry naturally as that may result in a film residue on the surface.
Outdoor Cleaning
Q6+ is UV resistant. Use same procedures to clean outdoor surfaces as indoor surfaces.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Congratulations on your recent purchase of Quantum Quartz. With proper installation, care and maintenance you should have many years of trouble free enjoyment from our product.
Quantum Zero is a durable material but you should avoid:
• Sitting, standing or climbing on your bench top
• Direct exposure to hot pots, pans or other hot items
• Cutting food directly on the surface
• Knocking, dropping or bumping the Product with heavy items
• Exposure to strong chemicals and solvents
Matte finish products are as durable as our polished range however they are prone to oil marks from ‘oily’ based products and even our own natural skin. These are not permanent stains however extra care is required in order to maintain your matte finish product.
Note: all silicon or similar based products may leave a shiny film on the surface, causing a shiny appearance which cannot be removed. This is an unavoidable part of the installation and should be restricted to the necessary (splashback and joint sealing) areas of the benchtop.
Quantum Zero is low maintenance.
• For every day cleaning use a neutral pH stone safe cleaner or our Spray Cleaner*
• Absorb spills immediately and wipe with a soft cloth or sponge. Ensure you remove all cleaner residue with damp cloth or sponge.
• For stubborn stains use our Cream Cleanser*
• Quantum Zero is virtually non-porous and does not require sealing or polishing to maintain its semi-gloss, smooth finish.
NOTE: When cleaning with our Cream Cleanser (or similar), please dilute with water first, then apply with a non-scratch scourer or soft cloth. When unsure, test the Cream Cleanser on a small piece of your bench that is out of view. Quantum Zero is not a full gloss finish, it is a semi-gloss. If your bench top looks too shiny or blotchy please review your cleaning methods.
*Cream Cleanser is available at select kitchen companies and fabricators as well as online at wkstone.com.au
