Has anyone used this on quartZITE? (Not quartz)... I have used my new counters for 3 days and already have water stains.

We have granite countertops and that's what we use it on. I had never heard of quartzite, so I looked it up online. I found a helpful article about it on countertopinvestigtor.com. It is a stone product (the quartzite), so I would imagine you'd be fine using this cleaner. We also use this cleaner on our glass cooktop with no problems, and we've been using this cleaner for over a year.

we have granite with quartz. But it was recommended to us to seal the counters beforehand. It's much easier to clean the counters now. We will put more sealer on I think every 2-3 years.

I just made the mistake of picking up "polish" rather than "cleaner". My floor is ruined. Fortunately, I had only done a section of floor. I am reading now what to do about it. Can't believe how many "mad" people there are who already ruined their floors---never again. Once they are fixed- think I will try the ammonia/water mix. Wish me luck-- Goodbye Bona!!!!!

They definitely leave residue on our counters. Both the salt and the pepper leave residue, but we notice the salt more as we have black quartz counters.

I used a ratio of 1 to 1 (1part water to 1 part StoneTech). I mixed it in a spray bottle and sprayed on my granite counter top. Let sit for a minute then wiped with clean with a soft cloth. Let it sit for about 4 hours then repeated with a second coat. Works extremely well.

I have accidentally left our stone in the oven and set the oven to "self clean" (no chemicals/sprays added). When the oven was done cleaning, It actually turned any stains/goop on the stone to gray dust, with a little sponge water, it came right off. Looked almost brand new!

The first project in my kitchen I used the color silicon sand that project turned out excellent. I dance around in order to the white diamond for my mother's kitchen she had a Formica 1970s Formica countertop, and I encountered problems using the white diamond with her, countertops which was a yellow color. I contact customer service and they were very courteous and quick in sending a replacement as well as giving me additional tips/ instructions on how to correct the problem (counters turned a baby blue color hours after completion). After several calls to customer service we finally got the counters to maintain the color diamond white that they were intended to be.

Water and butcher block are not good friends. Try using a cut piece of lemon on the worst of the stains and let it sit there at least over night. It sometimes works.

This did not happen to me. Before using the grinder I washed the grinding stone and the container thoroughly. However, even if you do not wash them, the color should not 'run'. Maybe some grease or stain was ready on the stones

No, not well. We applied three coats to our concrete counter tops and it did nothing but make the water bead a little. We ended up using tung oil and that made the biggest difference. Soapstone is meant to be oiled and resists stains better than concrete naturally.

I use a wet 5" polisher. They work beautifully on concrete countertops, as well as marble and granite, which are all I've tried. I would use only a wet polisher, since this is what they were made to be used on.

I have only used this product for my black granite counters. I do like it for the granite, and use a microfiber cloth, which gives a nice finish with no streaking. Sorry, I have not tried it on my shower walls or floors.

I would try MAAS. It removes stains and polishes without any damage. I have tried other suggested products and concoctions and this is the only one that I feel safe using on my precious metals. It is amazing!

Have not tried that, I only use on my granite countertops, I would contact the company that makes it and present the question to them.

I did my countertops a few months ago, and so far so good. If you leave things sitting on the counter for long periods, it leaves tiny indentions but they disappear over time. You do get very tiny scratches from cleaning but can not tell unless you are inches from the countertop. You must work quickly with this stuff because it does harden fast, but the end result looks nice as everyone thinks I have new granite countertops now.

I have been using it for many years; but only on silver-sterling or silverplate with a sponge (one usually comes with). On stones use a good liquid that comes in a bottle-use the brush that comes with it to brush gently on the stones so as not to damage them. Rinse both jewelry and silver with warm water no soap so as not to rub off the polish. I love the results!I forgot to add---no polish on pearls!!!!! And try and use the silver polish with tarnish preventative--it lasts much longer.

it ruined my floor too. Use vinegar and water. and believe it or not, a credit card to scrape up the crap. It will take time, but my floor is saved.

Works well. Increase dwell time from lacquer. Couple coats before scraping off. No water until end. Scraper, steel wool, then hot water and nylon brush, then pressure washer, then soap and water, then pressure washer. Faster the better when scrubbing off stripper. Commit to it otherwise you'll just have to do it twice. Oxalic acid if you get black spots.
