They are not 100% percent quartz, almost the entirety of a quartz countertop's "body" is comprised of natural minerals. The average quartz countertop slab has 97% quartz minerals. The remaining 3% (plus-or-minus) resin is used to hold it all together. Quartz can also be customized to fit certain features in your kitchen since the resin mixture makes it more versatile than natural stone. Such as, quartz slabs can be molded into a sink, a island, or a countertop. It can also be made into floor and wall tiles for a matching look throughout your space.

Quartz is stain-resistant, not completely stainproof .It does contain a layer of resin and pigment that’s petroleum based, and this layer can combine with certain chemicals to lead to stains. Now, such chemicals are not common in the kitchen or bathroom and it won’t be a risk for many homeowners. If you spill something on your quartz countertops, start by wiping them off with a soft rag and a mild detergent. You will need to remove dried food with a plastic scraper and use a soft rag and soap to clean up after.
