Granite Countertop Maintenance Guide

Описание: Caring For Your Granite

Natural stone is porous and needs to be sealed regularly, typically at least once a year. The best way to prevent stains, water spots, and other blemishes is to apply a powerful protective sealant. The homeowner can easily apply the sealer, and the process does not take very long. If you purchased your counters here at Granite Countertop Warehouse, we would gladly apply the initial coat of sealer for your countertops for you. However, it is still highly recommended that you re-apply the sealer once every year. Make sure to speak with one of our amazing designers about our sealer today!

Routine cleaning of your stone is not as hard as you might think, as long as you avoid using harmful chemicals that can damage the stone. Ammonia is one of your worst culprits, and you should avoid using it on your countertops at all costs. When ammonia comes into contact with your counters, it eats and dissolves the sealer. If the sealer is not present, your stone will be at risk of staining. One of the most common household cleaners containing ammonia is “Windex”, so make sure to avoid using that product for cleaning your countertops. A better alternative to this is a mild detergent and water, which will work just fine.

Natural stone can sustain heat up to different temperatures, which vary depending on the exact material, but you should always use some sort of mat under hot dishes or cookware to avoid discoloration.
