Care and Maintenance For Marble / Quartz / Granite Countertops
- Clean all surfaces with warm water and a mild detergent or soap.
- Rinse and dry surfaces after cleaning.
- Blot-up spills immediately.
- Re-apply stone sealer to countertop surface every 6-12 months.
- DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. (e.g. Ajax, Soft Scrub or Comet)
- DO NOT use cleaners that contain vinegar, lemon juice or ammonia.
- DO NOT sit or stand on stone countertops.
- DO NOT put hot pots directly on stone countertops - always use a hot pad. Though granite is quite heat resistant it is still wise to avoid direct contact with very hot items.
- DO NOT cut directly on natural stone countertops - use a cutting board at all times.
