Advantages of Quartz Bathroom Vanities

There are several different reasons you should look into quartz vanities if you are remodeling your bathroom. As a company that fabricates and installs quartz bathroom vanities in the Twin Cities, we are often asked about quartz and why it is such a popular choice for bathroom vanities. 

With quartz bathroom vanities, you can find just about any color or pattern. Quartz is a manufactured stone, so your imagination is pretty much the limit when it comes to finding the perfect choice for your new bathroom. And in this day and age, the colors and styles are very contemporary and luxurious. You can get an elegant look and feel to your bathroom with quartz bathroom vanities!

No matter how big or small your family is, quartz bathroom vanities are a good choice because of their durability. They do not chip or crack very easily, and they are more long-lasting than some other stones and materials on the market these days.

Quartz bathroom vanities will not stain easily either. Quartz is a non-porous stone, so that also means you don’t have to worry about having it sealed like you do with some types of granite. So if something is spilled on quartz bathroom vanities, it probably will not stain. Just be sure to wipe up the spill as soon as possible after it happens.

They are also a great choice for bathrooms because they are bacteria-resistant. While this will not keep you and your family from getting sick 100% of the time, it can help in fighting the spread of germs, bacteria and illnesses.

Cleaning quartz bathroom vanities is easy! Simply wipe them down with a soft cloth and mild soap. You do not have to buy any special cleaners. They are pretty much maintenance-free, so that makes your life easier in the long run when it comes to cleaning the bathroom.

Caring for Marble Bathroom Countertops

If you want to keep your new marble bathroom countertops in your Plymouth home looking as good as the day they were installed, we have a few suggestions for you and how to care for them. Marble bathroom countertops are easy to care for, so follow these tips to keep them looking great.

For everyday cleaning and care of your marble bathroom countertops, all you need is a soft and clean cloth and warm water. Use another soft and clean cloth to dry them after you are done wiping them down. Do not use vinegar or other acidic cleaners on your marble bathroom countertops. This can dull the surface.

Marble bathroom countertops occasionally need a deeper cleaning. You can do this with a cleaner that is specially made for marble. Just make sure the cleaner is not abrasive in any way. Clean your marble bathroom countertops per the instructions on the cleaner, and make sure you completely dry the surface after you are done cleaning it. If you have any doubt about what kind to buy, just give us a call and we can help you out. 

Some day-to-day maintenance is also needed to keep your marble bathroom countertops looking good. You should wipe up any spills right after they happen. You can get special marble stain removers if you want to buy them. Or you can make your own using a combination of baking soda and water or rubbing alcohol if the stain is oil-based or a combination of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide or acetone if the stain is water-based. Just wet the stain with some clean water, put the mix on it and then cover it up with plastic wrap. Let the mixture sit for about a day and then rinse it thoroughly. 

Taking the time to do some regular maintenance and cleaning can help keep your marble bathroom countertops looking great for years to come!
