Clean Often

Invest in Sealer for Your Countertop

Experts agree that granite countertops should be resealed annually. This allows the granite to maintain its resistance to dirt and spills and minimizes the risk of damaging your countertop. Sealer is available for you to purchase at any local hardware store. For more information on the re-sealing process,

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

When caring for your granite countertop, it’s important to prevent it from coming into contact with any cleaners with high PH levels. Yes, that means you shouldn’t use everyday products you rely on like bleach and fine steel wool pads! Use of these materials can dull your countertop’s finish and cause discoloring.
