Granite countertops can be a beautiful and classy addition to any kitchen, but their great appearance and quality will only last as long as you maintain them properly. While granite is a highly durable, heat resistant, and stain resistant material, your countertops will still require some basic maintenance to keep them shining over the years.
Here are a few tips for maintaining your granite kitchen countertops.
- Avoid harsh cleaners: Harsh cleaning chemicals and acids can strip away the sealant protecting your countertops. You can use either a special cleaner made specifically for granite or a simple mixture of water and dish soap with a soft cloth to clean your granite kitchen countertops.
- Clean spills right away: While granite kitchen countertops are carefully sealed to make them stain-resistant, it is still best to clean up any spills right away to prevent any staining. If something does leave a stain, you can usually remove it with a little extra elbow grease while cleaning or with the help of a professional like us.
- Reseal it as needed: Similar to hardwood flooring, granite kitchen countertops need to be resealed to stay stain-resistant. They only need to be resealed periodically, and you can come to us at Complete Kitchen & Bath for our resealing services so you can continue enjoying your beautiful countertops for many years to come without any extra effort on your end.
