Keep the counters sealed.
It's not just granite countertops that need to be sealed. Because these countertops are porous, they also require some sealing. Stain-repelling sealers help to preserve the worktops' excellent appearance.
See your fabricator to make sure you're sealing with the appropriate products. Either you or a professional can assist you with the sealing.
It should be noted that you will need to reseal the pieces after a certain amount of time, even after sealing them. When the water stops beading, as a general rule, reseal the pieces.
Make the pieces clean.
Not only does cleaning maintain the countertops' excellent appearance, but it also stops stains from developing. Steer clear of abrasive or acidic cleaners when cleaning the pieces.
Dusting the countertops with a gentle microfiber cloth once a week is the proper method of cleaning them. Use a damp cloth and a stone-specific pH-neutral cleaner for wet cleaning.
Mild dish soap and water is one of the most popular methods for doing it. After adding water to a spray bottle, lightly wipe and scrub the counter with a damp cloth.
After that, you should rinse the towel and continue wiping until no suds remain. After you're done, use a towel to dry the countertops.
Be cautious when using common cleaning supplies as they may cause etching on the stone's surfaces. It's crucial to stay away from cleaning products that include ammonia, vinegar, orange juice, lemon, and citrus foods.
Consult your worktop installer company to determine which products are safe to use.
Never use cleaners with abrasives on finish as they will dull and damage it. Talk to the people who are staying with you over the holidays or during the holidays about what products they can and cannot use on the surfaces.
