We have installed quartz counters. We have very hard water in our area and I have not been able to remove water deposits from Quartz. Looking for suggestions on how to clean quartz countertops to get rid of these stains.

I would try making a mixture of baking soda and water in a paste and rub on with a soft cloth. Then follow with regular maintenance.

I have use a product called Lemonshine, found in the cleaning aisle. I would make a paste let it sit for a bit and then wipe away

Janet, before you try anything, please call the business that sold / installed and ASK if they have ran up against this problem and what they've' found that you might try. I have found over the years that most good businesses will be happy to answer a question on their product. It does make for great advertisement by clients. Please just call and ask, it won't cost you more than a few minutes.

Hard water stains temporarily mar quartz’s appearance with filmy, white buildup. The longer hard water buildup stays on quartz, the harder the white film becomes to clean.

Have you tried wiping down with vinegar? I think that will work for you.
