All you need to keep your granite looking great is a little water and a
couple of clean cloths (paper towels will do nicely). Wet one paper towel
with water and, working in small sections, wash an area of countertop. Then,
dry this section with the other paper towel. All water contains some amount
of minerals. By working in small sections and buffing with the dry paper
towel, you will avoid leaving mineral streaks in the granite. If you do decide to use a cleaner, choose one without harsh, caustic
chemicals like acids or ammonia. Instead, clean your counters with a
neutral, mild cleaner. Since granite does not harbor bacteria, you do not
need to use harsh chemicals to clean the surface.
- Annual maintenance
- Superior Granite sealed your granite countertops in
our shop prior to installation, but depending on the type of granite you
chose, an occasional application may be needed. Darker colored granite is
harder than lighter colors, and as a result, less permeable. Therefore, dark
countertops may never need resealing. Light colored countertops may require
an annual application depending on how quickly absorbed moisture evaporates
out.
