Cleaning a kitchen countertop is not all that instinctive.

You’re bound to have wondered about the products or the best method you should use to avoid tarnishing the beauty of the kitchen countertop you’ve just bought, or reducing its efficiency.
For example, porcelain stoneware and quartz are not the same thing.
