Maintaining Granite Countertops

Natural stone is a popular countertop alternative for homeowners seeking a combination of elegance and durability. There are multiple alternatives available in this category, with granite representing a firm favorite for many kitchen remodeling projects. 

Some of the practices you should adopt regarding the maintenance of Granite Countertops include: 

Avoid Acidic Cleaners 

You must avoid any cleaners with high acid levels when working with granite. Such soaps and detergents are likely to cause discolorations in the long run, so only pH-neutral alternatives should be applied. Substances such as vinegar and anything with ammonia should be avoided. 

Maintain a Regular Cleaning Schedule 

Wiping down the counter regularly is a good way to avoid the accumulation of potentially stubborn stains. Cleaning up a spill as soon as it’s made, for example, can ensure it doesn’t leave any lasting marks. You can use warm water and dry towels to deal with most messes in the kitchen. 

Sealing the Surface 

Sealing your countertop’s surface at least once a year is essential in enhancing the longevity of its surface. This protective layer will protect against stains and scratches. There are a variety of sealers available in the market, including penetrating, enhancing, and topical alternatives. We offer quality granite counters at affordable rates, so call us today!
