Sometimes, glass and other mineral stones are added to enhance the beauty of the texture and to make it look more attractive. Quartz worktops Essex is now experimented in modern offices also because of their eye-catchy appearance and texture.
Hard and durable:

Neglecting the regular cleaning can take a toll on the durability of the material. It is also non-porous and thus is resistant to weather changes.
Cleaning of quartz:
Cleaning as mentioned before should be done regularly but with a mixture of water (warm usually) and soap or any liquid which has some amount of ammonia in it. If something is spilled and is dried, scraping off gently with plastic only is useful and recommended. Sharp objects such as knives, scrubbers, etc. can cause damage to the surface. Avoiding direct contact with heat or fire is also recommended. Quartz can bear temperature up to 200°C but can corrode if the temperature is higher than that.
