Quartz worktop stains... help!!!

[Fredflinstoneswife1]

These look like the bottom of a pot or plate or something, but nothing I have tried (general cleaners, bar keepers friend, the pink stuff) is doing anything for it.
Arghhh it looks so unclean all the time 😩

Thanks for that. Looks like whatever this quartz has binding it has burnt!

Have tried it, not working sadly!

I'd go for the gently, gently approach. Def don't use vinegar on quartz tops - the acid will dissolve the quartz. I use bicarb mixed with fairy liquid. Uo to now it's worked well.

Why would anyone buy a worktop that you can't clean? It's bound to get stained with tomato, curry etc? If I couldn't use bleach on it if other usual cleaners didn't work I'd be distraught!

Our quartz supplier told us to use Astonish Oven & Cookware Cleaner. You wet a cloth, rub into the cleaner then work in small circular motions on the stain. It's never failed me on our white quartz but again it feels a little abrasive so slow & steady and not too much pressure. I think it's easy to source from B&M, Home Bargain & supermarkets.

I work in this industry. Neat bleached soaked into a micro fibre and blot the area for a white quartz.

As another has mentioned if this won’t work it’s because it’s scorched the resin. More common in cheaper quartz due to the stone content being less and plastic content being higher. Also more porous so more likely to stain. Which supplier did you use?

This really works amzn.eu/d/hlxS2O7

Same

I’ve got the same worktop. Pink stuff in the tub, layer it on with a wet sponge and clean off after letting it sit for a while. Good luck!

Have you tried head and shoulders? Sounds bizarre but some friends of ours accidentally spilled some on a bath and noticed the stains lifted where the spill was.

The absolute best thing we found for our white quartz (not Matt) was 80%+ hand sanitiser. We normally have a pump bottle of it on the side from home bargains, it’s a miracle worker. Pump on stain generously, leave for 30 mins and then wipe.

I’ve got this kind of top. Nail varnish remover.

We have white Corian worktop and get the same - Barkeepers friend brings it off

Just to say to everyone that says bleach food stains, e.g. curry. Obviously there’s nothing wrong with that, but most food stains will bleach out with sunlight, so no need to get the chemicals out! Just patience

The way it is in a ring looks less like a scorch mark and more like a stain to me - I would expect a pan scorch to be more in the middle of a circle than the edges.

How long has it been there? Have you no idea what caused it?

DH spilled an incredibly stainy liquid on our worktop (I can’t remember what it was, something DIY related). We were seriously contemplating replacing the worktop but eventually got it out with persistence over time (barkeepers friend mostly). There wasn’t a miracle cure we just scrubbed at it daily.

The most of the heat on the bottom of the pan would be concentrated around the ring edge... I think it is heat damage and hence why bark keepers friend and everything else that's been suggested has not worked. 😣

It came from Mid-ulster Granite. Is there anything we can do about it? The ring is the exact size of one of my pots...

Hand sanitizer gel. Rub it on and wipe off. Even works on curry stains
