I have heard that it's best to use only soap and water on quartz countertops, however I find it leaves water stains and a dull finish. Would love to use Windex but afraid to ruin my new counters. Any advice or other ideas?

Here's a great homemade mixture that is excellent for the counters:
Mix together 92% rubbing alcohol with an equal amount of warm water and add a few squirts of blue Dawn dish soap. Put in a spray bottle.

Very inexpensive and is great for counters, glass (works better than Windex) and stainless steel.

Yes, but it goes away quickly.

You wipe the counter dry & the whole thing evaporates right away. No problem with health, alcohol is in fact used to sterilize things. And what's wrong with it as far as kashrus goes?

My suggestion works much better & is much cheaper.

I kind of wonder why people feel a need to go anonymous when discussing how to clean a counter.
