Your natural stone can provide you with a lifetime of beauty and pleasure, provided it’s properly cared for. Stone is unique – and unlike any other surface it requires special care. Stone is one of the easiest surfaces to maintain. In fact, granite rates as a 7 on the Mohs hardness scale of 1 to 10, making it virtually unscratchable.
Cleaning Practices:
- Blot up spills immediately before they penetrate the surface.
- Clean stone surfaces with a few drops of neutral cleaner or stone soap (available at your local hardware store)
- Use a soft, clean cloth to clean the granite. Rinse after washing with the soap solution and dry with a soft, clean cloth.
- Re-seal the countertop every 9-12 months. Use a non-toxic sealer on food preparation areas. (available at local hardware stores)
