Dos & Don'ts: Granite Countertops

What to do and what not to do to make your granite last forever!

---

Dos

• Clean spills as soon as you notice them - granite is penetrable!

• Polish granite with a professional stone care cleaner when needed to enhance the color of the stone.
  

• After one year, your granite tops will need to be re-sealed. This can be done with an impregnator product from Lowe's or Home Depot.
  

• Enjoy the beauty of your natural stone!

Don'ts

• Never use an abrasive cleaner of any kind.
  

• Don't let acids (lemon juice, vinegar, ammonia) sit on the granite for long.
  

• If you purchased dry treat for your granite, there is no need to seal your granite every year. The dry treat is good for the life of your granite countertops!
  

• Do not apply excessive heat for a long period of time.
