cleaning tips for quartz worktops

My fairly new quartz kitchen worktops don't seem as shiny now as they should be; so far I've just been cleaning them with a water spray with a few drops of fairy liquid in it (as advised by the installer) and e-cloths. I'm very wary of using anything that might not be suitable for quartz surfaces (they cost a small fortune!), so would appreciate advice and/or recommendations for any tried and tested products that will restore the worktops to their shining glory...

I made a cleaner for our granite work tops that brought them up nice and shiny- should work on Quartz too. Try this, the alcohol makes it dry quicker so no streaks.

Quartz is one of the toughest natural substances on earth. Practically the only natural thing that will scratch it is diamond ans silica doesnt react with much chemically either.

Imo,you need vinegar. I keep a spray bottle of half water, half vinegar. Spray lightly, leave a few secs and wipe off. It's the limescale that stops it shining

I use glass cleaner with an E cloth, gives a streak free finish. I use normal kitchen spray on any stubborn stains.

I've been using Method granite cleaner and it is workings fine. Smells fab too.
Although when it runs out I'll probably try vinegar and water spray.
