Granite's Natural Characteristics
Every stone is different in pattern and colour. Granite has natural characteristics which are unique to each stone such as veins, fissures (which are natural cracks in the granite), pits (which resemble tiny holes), and blotches.
Granite Care and Maintenance
Granite countertops are sealed before installation. However, granite needs to be resealed once a year unless an everyday granite cleaner is used which has a minimal amount of sealer already in it. This means you are sealing your counters every time you use the product.
Harsh chemical cleaners such as Lysol®, Windex®, and bleach should never be used on granite counters. Mild dish soap or a granite cleaner or revitalizer should be used when cleaning your counters. Read our blog to know more.
