Both quartz and granite countertops are known for their durability, but they do require different levels of maintenance. Quartz countertops are non-porous, making them resistant to stains and bacteria. They are easy to clean with just soap and water. Granite countertops, although more porous, can be sealed to prevent staining and require periodic resealing. They also need to be cleaned with mild soap and water. Consider your lifestyle and the amount of time you can dedicate to maintenance when choosing between quartz and granite countertops for your kitchen decor.
