GRANITE
COUNTER MAINTENANCE:
For
stone countertops, daily maintenance consists of simply wiping
with a damp cloth or sponge. It's recommended that the
countertop be cleaned using a stone soap once per week. Stone
soap is a 100% natural, PH -balanced, neutral conditioner &
maintenance cleaner/protector that comes as a concentrate you
just add water to.
After the countertop has been
wiped clean, spray the diluted solution onto the granite and
spread evenly with a damp cloth or sponge. Allow it to dry
before putting back the items normally stored on the countertop.
If your countertop has a
polished finish, you can keep the gleam by applying a stone
polish. It's easy to use, you simply apply, allow to dry, and
then buff to a shine once a month or so.
All kitchen spills should be
wiped up immediately and not be allowed to sit. Citrus juices &
vinegars contain acid which, if left unattended, could etch your
countertops. Oils can also leave a stain on your counters.
Bottles of oil or items containing oil, grease, etc. should be
placed on a protective surface while cooking. If oil does spill
or splatter, wipe it up immediately and clean with stone soap.
We do not recommend using dish soap or any ammonia-based
products such as Windex on your counters as these products will
destroy the sealer that was applied during installation.
The above
mentioned products are sold individually or in a kit and are
available here at Sea Pointe. With a little care, you can enjoy
your stone countertops for years to come!
