A two-bottle system that cleans and protects the resins in quartz from sunlight fading.

This is the only pick here that specifically mentions UV protection — it is formulated to help protect the resins in quartz from fading or darkening from sunlight exposure, which is a real concern for white or light-colored quartz in a sunny kitchen. The pH neutral formula safely removes grease, soil, surface stains, and watermarks without damaging the surface. Buyers report it has a nice fruity smell and leaves no streaks, with one reviewer mentioning they “have been using for years” and that it “cleans and shines great.”

At 24 ounces per bottle (48 Fl Oz total), this offers serious volume compared to the single 23 oz HOPE’S bottle. It works on both quartz and other sealed stone surfaces, making it versatile if you have different counter materials.

The biggest single bottle on the list, and buyers use it for everything from stone showers to stainless steel.

At 32 fluid ounces, this is the largest single bottle here — 32 fluid ounces versus the 23 fl oz HOPE’s bottle. It weighs 2 pounds versus the 1.5-pound Parker & Bailey bottle. The formula is designed for granite, quartz, marble, and other natural stone, and it is a straightforward spray-and-wipe that leaves a streak-free finish with a fresh citrus scent. One buyer mentioned using it “2x/week on stone shower; leaves stone pristine, easy to use, non-caustic.”

Unlike the Stone Care International pick above, Granite Gold does not market UV protection or a separate polishing stage — it is a daily cleaner, not a polish. That makes it a better fit if you just want to wipe down counters without thinking about layers or shine enhancers. Some users note it also works remarkably well on stainless steel appliances.

The no-haze specialist — free of sunscreen, silicone, and oil so nothing builds up.

HOPE’S stands out because it explicitly leaves out the ingredients that cause streakiness. The formula is free of sunscreen, silicone, and oil, which means it does not leave that waxy, hazy film that can make quartz look dull after repeated use. It is also fragrance-free and dye-free, so it is safe on food contact surfaces — you can wipe down counters right before meal prep without worrying about scents transferring. At 23 Fl Oz, it is smaller than the 32 oz Granite Gold bottle and the 24 oz Parker & Bailey bottle. The HOPE’S bottle weighs 1.63 pounds.

Reviewers consistently mention that it “works great” and there is “no smell, no residue, just a clean quartz countertop.” One buyer did note that it got hazy once, but suspected it was due to a cross-contaminated towel rather than the cleaner itself. This is a solid choice if you have been battling haze from other products and want a clean slate.

A trusted brand since 1882 that combines cleaning and polishing in one spray to restore shine.

Bar Keepers Friend brings a century of experience to the table — the company has been making cleaning products since 1882, and this granite and stone cleaner is specifically formulated to remove stains, grease, and grime from natural and manufactured stone without etching. It is pH-balanced, so it won’t harm the structure of marble, quartz, or granite. The key difference here is that it also acts as a polish — unlike the HOPE’S or Granite Gold picks, this product is designed to restore shine as it cleans, making it a good choice if your counters have lost their luster.

Reviewers report it is “great for quartz,” with one buyer saying: “Have white countertops and regret you decision? This will make your life easier.” However, one review noted that while it cleans everyday stains well without residue, the polishing effect may not be strong enough to give a high-gloss finish on its own. At 2.36 pounds, it is the heaviest bottle here by a small margin, reflecting a denser formula.

The cleaner that doubles as a protectant to rejuvenate the original seal of your stone.

Bayes is unique among these picks because it markets itself as a protectant, not just a cleaner. It is designed to gently clean the surface while helping to restore the original seal of the stone — meaning it can bring back the water-beading effect on countertops that have lost their seal over time. The formula is pH-balanced for streak-free performance and free of harsh chemicals, and it is Leaping Bunny Certified as cruelty-free. One loyal reviewer says: “I have used it for years and it protects the surface of the stone. Even stone that had not been sealed for a number of years regained its luster and water beaded on it.”

One practical insight from a buyer: “After wiping it on the counters with a wet cloth, I used a dish towel to dry it.” This is a key technique for this product — the user notes that they could never do that before without needing “about 20 paper towels to rub rub rub to get the shine back.” The scent is aromatic citrus, which is pleasant but may not suit those who prefer fragrance-free options like HOPE’S.

A no-nonsense, unscented spray that cleans without overshadowing your kitchen with perfume.

If you are sensitive to strong smells, Parker & Bailey is formulated to be completely scent-free. It is a streak-free cleaning spray that works on granite, stone, marble, quartz, slate, limestone, and tile surfaces. At 24 oz and 1.5 pounds, it is lighter than the 2-pound Granite Gold bottle but still offers a generous volume for daily use. It is also labeled as food safe, making it suitable for kitchen prep areas.

“My granite is beautiful, but hard to keep shiny clean,” one buyer wrote, summing up the exact problem this product solves. They noted that the product “wipes clean, and leaves a brilliant shine.” Another reviewer commented that it “smells so fresh” — despite being labeled unscented, some users perceive a slight clean scent. The bottle is made in the USA, specifically a Maine tradition according to the manufacturer.

A plant-based formula paired with a scrub brush for tackling stuck-on grime that a spray alone can’t shift.

Final Touch is the outlier in this list because it comes with a scrub brush included — a serious tool for cleaning seams, edges, and detailed areas where grease and grime build up. The formula itself is plant-based and developed by specialists in cabinet and surface refinishing, not a generic chemical company. It is designed to break down food residue, oils, and buildup without harsh chemicals and leaves a streak-free, residue-free finish.

Reviewers are impressed: one owner reported it “effectively removed heavy grime from white grout on natural stone fireplace after two winters of wood stove use,” which is a heavy-duty claim for a plant-based product. Another noted that the brush is effective for deep cleaning, though a microfiber cloth is not included for the final buff. At 2.35 pounds, it is roughly the same weight as the Bar Keepers Friend bottle but with the added bulk of the brush handle.
