 A Königstone worktop is perfect for your kitchen; they look fabulous and are extremely low maintenance thanks to the easy-to-clean nature of granite and quartz.

One of the best things about Königstone worktops is that both materials are manufactured to make your life easier when it comes to cleaning; quartz surfaces are engineered to be stain-resistant and the range of granite worktops come with a protective anti-stain coating. However, you should ideally still wipe the surfaces down daily and make sure that big spills are wiped up as soon as they happen to keep the worktops sparkling. Whether you’ve been painting with the kids, chopping fruit for a smoothie, or cutting fresh flowers, a simple wipe will clear any mess up. And doing this is easy, all you need is a damp cloth and a neutral cleaning detergent, such as everyday anti-bacterial spray, which will ensure splashes, spills and stains are lifted easily. To avoid watermarks, use a normal damp cloth to wipe the surface initially and then go back over this with a dry microfibre cloth. Not only does this remove any watermarks, it also keeps your worktops looking shiny and brand new.

For tougher, more stubborn marks, the damp cloth may need an extra helping hand from a stronger detergent. However, which substance is used will differ between granite and quartz surfaces as non-porous stone and porous stone require different care. For best results, you should use a cream cleaner to remove persistent stains on a quartz worktop while a natural stone cleaner would be better suited for a granite surface.
