Granite countertops are a beautiful addition to kitchens and bathrooms which can exuberate style and class in any home. Though granite can be a gorgeous feature for your home’s countertops, it requires a level of care and upkeep that many do not take the time to maintain. Neglecting your home’s granite can reduce its quality which can lead to permanent staining, cracking, and loss of luster. Fortunately, by taking a few easy precautions, you can be sure that your granite will maintain its shine while lasting the test of time.

In this detailed article, we’ll list a few easy ways to care for your granite to ensure its level of quality and longevity remains uncompromised. With the proper level of care, your granite countertops will continue to gleam while increasing the value of your home. Read more below to learn the easiest ways to keep your granite sparkling and free of blemishes.

Maintain Your Granite’s Seal

Since granite is a natural rock, its surface is porous and is therefore susceptible to absorption if liquid is not wiped up from it in a timely manner. If your granite is not properly sealed, liquid spills such as coffee or wine can turn into permanent stains if not immediately cleaned. Not only does porous material welcome spillage and stains, it can also harbor harmful bacteria that can be hard to clean which poses serious health concerns when food is involved. For this reason, we suggest using a high quality granite sealer on your countertops at least once a year. The granite sealer will keep your granite countertops in a beautiful and non-porous state, eliminating any concern of staining or bacteria buildup. If you are looking to reseal your granite countertops, you can find high quality granite sealer at your nearest hardware store such as Lowe’s or Home Depot .

Use a Granite-Specific Cleaner

While there are many name brand household cleaners that effectively kill germs and bacteria, few are suitable for use on granite surfaces. In fact, you should only use a cleaner on your countertops that is specifically designed for granite. Since granite is an igneous rock, cleaners with acidic properties can break down granite over time, making it lose its luster. Finding a pH-balanced granite cleaner will ensure that you can clean your countertops without worry of acidic erosion. Certain granite cleaners will also double as a granite polish, increasing your countertop’s shine while eliminating grime and buildup. Granite cleaners are easy to find at major retail stores as well as online , and should be your first cleaning solution choice when you’re thinking about sanitizing your granite countertops.
