Care & Maintenance
GRANITE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Granite is a natural stone known for its durability and resistance to heat. To keep it looking its best:
Daily Cleaning: Use a mild dish soap and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Sealing: Re-seal your granite surfaces every 1–2 years to maintain stain resistance.
Preventive Measures: Use coasters for beverages and trivets for hot pots to protect against stains and heat damage.
Avoid: Abrasive cleaners or tools that may scratch the surface.
MARBLE CARE & MAINTENANCE
Marble is a luxurious and elegant stone, but it requires extra care due to its porous nature. To keep it looking its best:
Daily Cleaning: Clean with a pH-neutral cleaner and a soft cloth.
Sealing: Seal marble surfaces every 6–12 months to prevent etching and staining.
Preventive Measures: Blot spills immediately, especially acidic substances like wine or citrus.
Avoid: Using vinegar, bleach, or any acidic cleaners.
QUARTZ CARE & MAINTENANCE
Quartz is engineered for durability and ease of care, making it an excellent choice for busy households. To keep it looking its best:
Daily Cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap.
No Sealing Needed: Quartz is non-porous and doesn’t require sealing.
Preventive Measures: Use cutting boards to avoid scratches and trivets for hot cookware to prevent thermal shock.
Avoid: Abrasive scrubbers and harsh chemicals like oven cleaners.
QUARTZITE CARE & MAINTENANCE
Quartzite offers the beauty of marble with the durability of granite, but it also has specific care needs. To keep it looking its best:
Daily Cleaning: Clean with a gentle soap and warm water.
Sealing: Seal your quartzite surfaces every 1–2 years to maintain their natural resistance to stains.
Preventive Measures: Always use coasters, cutting boards, and trivets to prevent wear.
Avoid: Harsh cleaning agents that can dull the surface.
Use a Stone-Safe Cleaner: Many household cleaners are too harsh for stone surfaces. Invest in a cleaner specifically formulated for natural stone.
Clean Spills Promptly: Quick action can prevent staining, especially with oils, acids, and colorful foods.
Regular Dusting: Use a microfiber cloth to keep your surfaces dust-free.
Protective Pads: Place felt or rubber pads under heavy appliances or decor to prevent scratches.
