Quartz surface is an engineered stone, consisting mainly of natural quartz and is a nonporous surface, making it easier to clean and maintain than natural stone.

Things You Will Need

  • Acetone
  • Razor scraper
  • Quartz countertop cleaner
  • Quartz countertop polish
  • Rags
  • Gloves
  • Safety goggles
  1. Test the acetone on a hidden area of countertop to ensure it does not damage or discolor the finish.

  2. Saturate the super glue with acetone. This solvent will help break down the cyanoacrylate adhesive.

  3. Hold the razor scraper at a 45-degree angle to the countertop and scrape the area where the super glue spill is. Repeat this motion as the glue begins to flake and peel up.

  4. Reapply the acetone to the super glue as necessary during the process. Continue scraping until all the glue is removed.

  5. Wait for the last of the acetone to evaporate from the quartz, then clean and polish your countertop.

The Drip Cap

  • Super glue is a versatile household repair item found in many tool boxes.
  • Even with Super Glue's durability, it is possible to remove the adhesive if you accidentally drip it on your quartz countertop.
  • Saturate the super glue with acetone.
