Quartz Specifications
Caring for your Phenix
product is easy. Simply wipe
with warm water and a pH
neutral, non-abrasive cleaner
and a clear water rinse. That’s
it!
Unlike granite, Phenix Quartz
is virtually maintenance free.
There’s no sealing, buffing,
polishing or reconditioning
required.
If necessary, a non-abrasive
cleanser such as Soft Scrub
Liquid Gel with Bleach or Comet
Gel can be used along with a
non-scratch or delicate scrub
pad such as Scotch-Brite.
Adhered materials like food,
gum, nail polish, or dried paint
can be scraped away with a
plastic putty knife; any marks
left by the blade can be removed
with Soft Scrub and a Scotch-Brite
pad. Thoroughly rinse the
surface with clean water to
remove residue.
