- Do not use abrasive cleaning agents such as regular Comet and Ajax. If needed, Bon
Ami and Bar keepers friend are both approved non abrasive cleaning powders that will
clean without effecting Q's finish.
- Though most common household cleaners have no effect of Q, never allow your QTM
countertop to come in contact with drain cleaners, paint strippers or products containing Hydrofluoric acid, Methylene chloride, Trichloroethylene or any product with a very high or very low PH. These types of chemicals may etch or discolor the surface of Q.
- There is no need to seal your Q countertop. Sealers cannot penetrate QTM and remain on the surface. Eventually the sealer will start to wear off unevenly in high use areas causing the polish to appear inconsistent.
- QTM is scorch resistant and under normal conditions is not affected. Always use a trivet or hot pad between Q and any heat generating device including but not limited to crock pots, deep fryers, hot pots and pans or electric skillets. Sudden or rapid change of temperature or sustained heating, especially near edges and cut outs, may create enough thermal expansion energy to cause your countertop to crack. Damage caused by thermal expansion is not covered under the Q warranty.
