 Granite Countertop Care & Maintenance

• Do not use bleach for cleaning.  You can use special natural stone cleaning products, any neutral liquid soap, or 50/50 diluted Windex & water. It’s best to always rinse with water and wipe dry at the end.

• Depending on use, you may have to reseal the surface every a few years. Under ordinary conditions, that won’t be necessary .

• There are rare occasions when you may accidentally chip the granite. This can usually be fixed by applying a colorized epoxy that will take polish. This procedure can be done by one of our technicians.

• You should not place heavy weight on the overhangs of your countertops. For example, climbing on an overhang to change a light bulb is strongly discouraged.

• Granite is a substance that quickly absorbs heat and distributes it out. We would recommend that extremely hot pans not be placed on or near small granite strips (up to 8") due to the fact that there is not enough material to distribute the heat. When placing hot pans on the countertop you will want to avoid coming in contact with the exposed area due to the extreme heat being deposited by the pan onto the granite.
