Granite countertops are a top choice when it comes to aesthetics and durability. The material is a very good choice in residential construction, be it in kitchen remodel or bathroom remodel. It is tough, hard, and compared to its fancy contemporary, marble, it is better at withstanding exposure to chemicals and substances. Although it is one of the best materials used in both kitchen remodel and bathroom remodel, there are still some things to remember to maintain the showroom beauty of your granite vanity top.
La Quinta Construction treats and seals the slab for granite countertop prior to installation. Sealing not only protects the granite from surface damage caused by constant use, it also prolongs the nice and smooth texture of your countertop. Experts in La Quinta Construction seals and lets the “stone impregnator” or sealing agent to penetrate and bond to the cracks and crevices of the granite slab so that future stains and other particles don’t get in it permanently. What you can do to maintain your granite countertop in tip-top shape is to seal it every year. If you feel you are not treating it with enough TLC, sealing it every six months is ideal too.
There are many products in the market that are sold to help you clean your granite countertop, but what actually work best are chemicals that are not too harsh. Avoid bleach, very acidic vinegars, and very abrasive cleaning products. They do more damage than harm. They strip your granite surface of its protective layer and rob off its inherent shine. Water or any neutral cleaner will do for cleaning. You can also use warm water and a soft cleaning towel to wipe the surface. If you need more than water to clean, you may do so with a mild liquid soap or a mild dishwashing soap. When not in use, wipe it off with a soft, dry chamois, so dusts don’t gather on it. In case of accidentally spilling liquids into it, just blot them off immediately.
With enough knowledge in your arsenal, cleaning your granite countertop is a breeze and keeping it nice is easy as ABC.
