Care and Maintenance of Granite

For long lasting beauty of your granite countertops, we apply sealer after the installation and recommend that you re-apply sealer once a year, or when water spots become difficult to remove.

Care and maintenance of natural stone is very easy – simply wipe with warm water and a little mild soap. Do not use chemicals that may affect the high polish of the stone. Due to the natural porosity of granite, the surface my be susceptible to damage from certain liquids such as grease, oil, and citric acids when left for abnormal periods of time.

Don’t use vinegar, lemon juice or other cleaners containing acids.

Don’t use cleaners that contain acid such as bathroom cleaners, grout cleaners or tub & tile cleaners.

Don’t use abrasive cleaners such as dry cleansers or soft cleansers.

Do not stand, sit or walk on your granite countertops
