• Metals

  Noticing metal marks on a quartz surface can often be confused for scratches. Such metal marks can be easily removed using simple methods.

  HanStone recommends using a white latex eraser. Delicately rub the eraser on the affected area, once the stain is gone, clean the surface with one of the daily cleaning solutions as recommended.*

  *Tip: When cleaning any surface, the rule of thumb is to never apply pressure that is heavier than the natural weight of your hand. Otherwise, you can cause dull spots.
