Quartz is one of the strongest materials you can use, making it one of the best-value countertops available. Both scratch- and stain-resistant, quartz countertops can look brand new for years even after withstanding heavy usage. 

 Quartz and granite countertops are priced similarly per square foot, with granite counters having the wider variation in price. Granite can be more expensive than quartz at times, based on the availability of a color and pattern. Sometimes quartz is more expensive due to the treatments it receives during manufacturing. 

 With its neutral pH, dish soap is right for the job.

1. Moisten a microfiber or cotton cleaning cloth with warm water. Add a dime-sized amount of dish soap. ...
2. Wipe down the counter with large swipes of your hand. For large countertops, add more soap when you no longer see bubbles transferring to the surface.

 White or light countertops

White will always be an elegant choice for kitchen countertops. White countertops don't need to be boring, either. Countertop surfaces in natural stone, quartz or porcelain can have interesting designs in them that bring subtle color into the room.

Although quartz is generally heat-resistant, it can be damaged by high temperatures, as when you take a hot pot or pan off the stove and set it directly on the surface. Exposure to extreme heat, or temperatures over 300 degrees Fahrenheit, could lead to scorch marks or discoloration that mars your countertop surface.
