Granite is among the most popular countertop materials for both kitchens and bathrooms. Most of our customers love the durability, heat and scratch resistance, natural beauty, and increased home value granite countertops can provide. We also like to boast about their low maintenance requirements. Here are some tips on how to maintain your granite countertops to keep them in top condition.
- Apply a high-quality sealant: One of the best ways to maintain your granite countertops is by applying a sealant from the very beginning. We can help apply a high-quality sealant to help keep your new countertops lasting as long as possible.
- No special cleaner is required: When your granite countertops are sealed properly, you don’t need any special cleaning supplies to clean your countertops. You don’t have to worry about specialized cleaners, supplies, chemicals, or anything else to clean your counters.
- Routine cleaning will keep them looking their best: As mentioned, no special cleaner is needed to keep your granite countertops looking their best, but you will need to use mild soap and water to routinely clear away any splatters or spills to help prevent stains or blemishes on your beautiful countertops.
One last note to consider, while you can utilize the heat resistance of granite, we don’t recommend placing your hot pots and pans directly on the countertop to keep it lasting as long as possible.
If you are considering new countertops in your kitchen or bathroom, granite is a great option as it can withstand daily wear and tear and even last a lifetime without any need for replacement as long as you care for them properly.
