Granite is the most popular choice for kitchen countertop material.  If you’ve installed granite in your kitchen, take the necessary maintenance steps to keep it beautiful and protected.

Helpful Tips for Maintaining a Granite Kitchen Countertop

Many countertop surfaces are sealed after installation.  Your stone fabricator should be able to tell you if it was sealed, and if so, what type of sealer was used.  Impregnating sealers penetrate the surface to provide an additional level of protection.

It is important to immediately wipe up any spills on the counter and not allow acidic liquids to remain on the surface.  Use only cleaners or soaps approved for use on granite.  You might periodically need to re-polish or reseal the countertop, but maintaining your countertop on a daily basis will ensure lasting beauty for years to come.
