COUNTERTOP MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance is essential for keeping your countertops looking great and functioning well for years to come. Here are some tips for maintaining various types of countertops:
GRANITE COUNTERTOPS
-
Seal Regularly: Granite is porous and needs to be sealed to prevent staining. Apply a granite sealer every 6 to 12 months, or as recommended by the manufacturer.
​
-
Clean with Care: Use a mild dish soap and warm water for cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals and acidic cleaners, which can damage the surface.
​
-
Avoid Excessive Heat: Use trivets or heat pads under hot pots and pans to prevent thermal shock and potential cracking.
QUARTZ COUNTERTOPS
-
Wipe Daily: Clean with a mild dish soap and warm water using a soft cloth. Quartz is non-porous, so it resists staining but still needs regular cleaning.
​
-
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Steer clear of abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals that can dull the surface or damage the resin.
​
-
Prevent Scratches: Use cutting boards when chopping or slicing to prevent scratching the surface.
GENERAL TIPS FOR ALL COUNTERTOPS
-
Avoid Cutting Directly on the Surface: Use cutting boards to protect the countertop from scratches and knife damage.
​
-
Clean Spills Promptly: Wipe up spills immediately to prevent stains and damage, particularly with porous surfaces.
​
-
Use Coasters and Mats: Protect your countertop from hot cookware, spills, and scratches by using coasters, mats, and trivets.
