Why Care and Maintenance Matters
It all begins with an idea.
Proper care and maintenance are essential to preserving the beauty and longevity of your countertops. While natural stone is incredibly durable, it's not immune to stains, scratches, or damage if not treated with care.
When it comes to cleaning your countertops, remember the golden rule: no harsh chemicals. Abrasive cleaners, acidic substances, and harsh chemicals can damage the sealant and cause etching or discoloration. Instead, stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and warm, soapy water for regular cleaning.
Cleaning Spills & Stains
It all begins with an idea.
For everyday spills and messes, a simple solution of mild dish soap and warm water is all you need. Gently wipe down the affected area with a soft cloth or sponge, then rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft towel. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or pads, as they can scratch the surface of your countertops.
In addition to regular cleaning, it's important to maintain the sealant on your countertops to protect them from stains and moisture damage. Depending on the type of stone and sealant used, you may need to reseal your countertops every 1-3 years. Consult with a professional if you're unsure about when to reseal your countertops or if you notice any signs of wear or damage.
