Granite Care
Natural stones are porous and can be
penetrated by liquids such as water and oil.
At the time of installation the countertops are
sealed with an impregnating sealer to
minimize staining.
The care and cleaning of your Granite
countertops is very simple and will increase
the life of your counterrtop. In addition to
dusting, you should clean natural stone on a
periodic basis with warm water and a mild
cleanser.
Abrasive cleaners should never be used.
Cleaners with ammonia, bleach, acids, or
other all-purpose cleaners should be avoided.
Clean stone surfaces with a few drops of
neutral cleaner, stone soap or a mild liquid
dishwashing detergent with WARM WATER.
These cleansers are mild and do not contain
harsh chemicals which can damage the sealant.
It is important to clean all spills and avoid
leaving unwrapped foods on granite surfaces.
Clean up spills as soon as possible.
