Cambria Quartz Countertop Care & Maintenance Guide

Cambria quartz is one of the most durable and low-maintenance countertop surfaces available to New Jersey homeowners. Because Cambria is engineered from pure natural quartz — one of the hardest minerals on earth — it is nonporous, stain-resistant, and never requires sealing, polishing, or reconditioning. With basic daily care, a Cambria quartz countertop will retain its polish and structural integrity for the lifetime of your kitchen or bathroom.

Daily Cleaning

For everyday cleaning, simply wipe the surface with a soft cloth or sponge using warm water and a mild dish soap. Avoid abrasive scouring pads, powders, and cream cleaners, which can dull the polished finish over time. Rinse with clean water and dry with a microfiber cloth to prevent water spots, especially in New Jersey homes with hard water.

Removing Stubborn Stains

For dried spills or stubborn residue, use a non-abrasive household cleaner such as a gentle glass-and-surface cleaner or a mild degreaser. Gently scrape away hardened material with a plastic putty knife — never metal, which can scratch or leave metallic marks on the surface. Because Cambria is nonporous, most spills — including wine, coffee, oil, and juice — will not penetrate or permanently stain if addressed promptly.

What to Avoid

Do not expose Cambria quartz to harsh chemicals such as paint thinner, drain cleaners, oven cleaners, or any product containing trichloroethane or methylene chloride, as these can damage the resin binder. Avoid direct, prolonged heat exposure — always use a trivet or hot pad under pans taken from the oven or stovetop. While Cambria is scratch-resistant, it is not scratch-proof; always use a cutting board rather than cutting directly on the surface.

Professional Maintenance

Unlike natural stone, Cambria requires no annual sealing or professional re-polishing. If your countertop is ever chipped or damaged, contact our New Jersey fabrication team for a professional repair rather than attempting a DIY fix. Properly cared for, your Cambria quartz surfaces will deliver a lifetime of beauty and performance in your home.
