Quartz is an artificial rock that is made by combining resins and pigment with a powdered form of quartzite. This component is first ground into a powder and then mixed with the color and resin to form quartz, which can be used in everything ranging from jewelry to sandpaper.

Maintaining Marble

Marble is considered a luxury item, meaning homes with marble finishings are highly sought after. It’s also considered to be heat-resistant, which makes its use as a kitchen countertop quite ideal. But marble is a porous metamorphic rock, which suggests that it will have seepage. It can also get stained from acidic liquids and foods, such as lemons, wine, and vinegar.

To protect marble from deteriorating, it requires regular resealing – approximately twice or thrice a year, depending on use. This will keep it from etching or staining further and allows you to quickly clean the marble without leaving a stain behind. To clean marble, we recommend using a soft sponge with a non-acidic cleaning agent.
