Title Button - Granite Care and Maintenance  

 Cleaning Granite Countertops

Granite is a natural stone which means that it has a porous surface. Because granite is porous, it must be cleaned regularly and sealed for proper maintenance. With proper care, your granite countertops will maintain their beauty and last an entire lifetime. Once Granite Emporium installs your new countertop, the granite will have been sealed and ready for use. You will not need to seal the counter again for another 12 months. However, it is important to clean your granite regularly until the next scheduled sealing.

White there are many granite and natural stone cleaners available on the market, it is best to use a cleaner with a neutral pH that will not damage your granite. You may use soap and water periodically but you will need a good granite cleaner to remove soap residue and build-up. We recommend a cleaner that is specifically formulated for granite such as StoneTech Professional Revitalizer stone cleaner.

 How to Seal Your Granite Countertop

When the time comes to seal your granite countertop, it is best to have this job done by a stone professional. The process will require a special sealant that is intended for sealing natural stone or granite. These sealants can usually be found at your local hardware store, however, your stone professional will use a commercial professional grade sealer together with a stone impregnator. This process will insure that your granite surface will give you a lifetime of beauty and pleasure.

It is also a good idea to inspect your granite periodically for any wear that may have occurred through the years and make any repairs necessary.
