I will let my GC decide and do it, since I do not want to be held responsible for this. Just my luck the razor blade would slip. It is encouraging though that it can be fixed. I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks for your reply.

What product is this? I have quartz counters and I have even cut things on them (you're not supposed to) and it hasn't left a mark.

I have Cambria Torquay and use Clorox wipes on them all the time. I use them to wipe down my counters, then follow it up with Method granite polish from Target (LOVE that stuff!) There is absolutely no streaking, haze, residue, discoloration, etc. I frequently put hot items straight onto the countertop, but try to use a trivet or pot holder most of the time. I'm not super worried about it, but I figure it doesn't hurt to use a little extra caution. I was given the option of having the sink cut-out finished into a cutting board, so I used that for a long time as a tester of sorts. It has held up to all stains and temperatures I've subjected it to. I was advised by the installer to use a it of straight acetone for any stains that couldn't be removed with regular cleaner or by scraping with a razor blade. That was four years ago, and I have yet to find anything that didn't wipe right off. And that's saying something, because I have young children. I absolutely love my quartz counters and would buy them again in a heartbeat.

I've had white laminate countertops for 35 years. Get rid of the scrubbies. I only use a bit of comet on my washcloth to get rid of marks. Gently. Other than that, windex or a similar liquid cleaner will keep them nice and clean and fresh. Every so often I might use a magic eraser, very very lightly. The key is to wipe up stains quickly if at all possible. But I've had permanent marker on them, crayons, tea and wine stains,....gentle is the operative word. I've also used organic goo-gone for sticky stuff with a cotton ball. Again, get rid of those brillo pads or anything rough & abrasive. We are in the process of getting ready to redo our kitchen and honestly I'm about to do white laminate again - they are quiet, warm, and I've never broken a dish on one. Good luck.
