While granite countertops are very strong and durable, you’ll still want to take precautions to keep them from being stained or damaged. We will help you to make your granite countertop look beautiful for years.
Clean Spills Immediately
You’ll want to avoid spilling anything other than water or some mild dish soap on your granite countertops, particularly liquids that have a high level of acidity. If you do spill something, use a cloth or paper towel to soak up any major spills and then use a damp rag to take care of any sticky residue.
Avoid Adding Weight to Countertop Edges
While granite countertops are very durable, you want to do your best to eliminate any chance of damaging them. One of the ways you can prevent damage is to avoid putting any unnecessary weight on the edges of the countertops. This can include grabbing on to the countertops for balance or using the countertops to climb up and reach a high shelf.
Use Trivets or Hot Pads for Hot Dishes
Granite holds up extremely well under heat, but thin strips of granite do not have enough surface area to absorb all of the heat from dishes, pots, and pans adequately. If you have small strips of granite countertop near other construction materials, use a trivet or hot pad for any hot dishes.
Avoid Harsh Cleaning Products
Some common household cleaners have high levels of acid and other chemicals that have the potential to damage your granite countertops. If you must use anything other than water to help clean up a spill, use something mild like dish soap to avoid damaging the granite.
Protect Your Countertops with a Sealant
One thing you can do to help protect your countertops from damage is to apply a sealant to them once they have been installed. A solvent-based sealer can be applied to granite countertops to help keep them looking new. Please ask SG Home Interior’s representative for a best type of sealant and granite countertop protection available in our store.
