Metal and Rust Stains from Quartz
Removing rust from quartz is a problem people often face. When using quartz countertops, use water and mid cleaners to clean the surfaces. If you notice any metal marks, use white latex eraser to clean the stains. You can rub the latex eraser on the stained area and clean the countertop with a daily cleaner. If there is a metal rust stain, soak a washcloth with oxalic acid, let it sit for 10-30 mins and clean with soap and water.
