Q6+ Care & Maintenance

With proper installation, care and maintenance you should have many years of trouble free enjoyment from Q6+ porcelain.

• Although Q6+ is heat resistant it is advised that you do not place hot pots (or other hot items) directly on the surface. Please use a mat, trivet or similar item to shield the product from direct heat. There is no issue using Q6+ on your splash back behind your gas burner.

• While Q6+ is scratch resistant it is not scratch proof. It will perform great under normal conditions. Please try to avoid harsh contact with metal objects such as knives, tools,etc.

• If you have used Q6+ as a bench top, it is recommended that you do not sit or stand on your bench. The performance of Q6+ will rely on the strength of your substrate supporting the bench.

• Q6+ is virtually non‐porous and does not require any sealing. Do not attempt to seal this product.

• Avoid contact with harsh chemicals such as oven cleaners, paint strippers, etc.

Cleaning / Maintenance

While Q6+ is resistant to staining it is strongly recommended that you clean spills as they occur . The more days that a stubborn stain sits on the surface the (potentially) harder it may be to remove.

Stains

For stubborn stains consider a non‐abrasive cleaning product such as Quantum Quartz Cream Cleanser which is available for sale at wk.com.au. Dilute with warm water and rub gently in a circular motion. Rinse thoroughly and remove any residue . It is important that you follow your cleaning product’s instructions. Test the cleaning product on an inconspicuous part of the stone if you are unsure.

Foreign Objects

For foreign objects (gum, glue, etc) sticking to the surface use a plastic scraper or spatula to gently remove item.

Flooring

It is recommended that you vacuum surface to remove any loose grit and other small items.

General Cleaning

Use soap and water with a soft cloth. A variety of non‐abrasive low/ neutral pH products are acceptable for use. Always remove residue to complete the process.
Do not leave soapy water on Q6+ to dry naturally as that may result in a film residue on the surface.

Outdoor Cleaning

Q6+ is UV resistant. Use same procedures to clean outdoor surfaces as indoor surfaces.
