How to Polish a Quartz Countertop to Make it Shine

How to Polish a Quartz Countertop to Make it Shine
Step 1
Using warm, soapy water, scrub down the countertop completely. Do not use oil-based soaps for this. Dulling of the shine occurs because of residue left behind on the countertop. 
 
Step 2
Using the spray bottle, liberally soak the countertop with water, being sure to really get it wet. Most streaking also comes from soap or food residue left on the surface. Due to quartz being non-porous, nothing becomes absorbed into the countertop, and this can leave a film on the surface which is not experienced with other materials. 
 
Step 3
 To remove cooking film from the quartz, spray the space with window cleaner. Do not over-spray; less is more in this instance. Another application can be applied, but it is hard to completely take off excess window cleaner. Wipe the counter down with a soft cloth moving from left to right, top to bottom.
 
Step 4 
Quartz countertops are polished within the manufacturing company, using a sealing surface polish. Further polish added to the top will only create excess buildup which will further the dull look.
