Caring for your Granite

Granite is one of the strongest materials on earth but it should not be abused.

Wipe wet spills immediately, especially acidic liquids like citrus juice, alcohol, vinegar or soda. Always use costars.

Do not cut on countertop, always use a cutting board. Cutting on granite will dull your knives and eventually will scratch the granite.

Many types of natural stone can be damaged if hot or metal dishes are placed on them. Use placemats.

Do not use harsh abrasive or any type of chemical cleansers or acidic cleansers on your granite.

Use soft cloth to wipe surfaces instead of abrasive pads (steel wool) that might scratch.

All stones are sealed with a protective sealant. It might be a good idea to reseal your countertop once a year especially if you have light color granite.
