Granite Care

Granite is known for its durability, but proper maintenance keeps it looking new for years.

Daily Cleaning

Use a mild, pH-neutral cleaner or warm water with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Spill Protection

Wipe spills quickly — acidic liquids like wine, coffee, and citrus can etch the surface.

Sealing

Most granite requires periodic sealing. Depending on usage, reseal every 1–2 years.

Heat Safety

Use trivets for hot pans to avoid thermal shock.

Avoid

Bleach, abrasive pads, and ammonia-based cleaners.

Marble Care

Elegant and timeless — but more delicate. Marble needs gentle, consistent care.

Daily Cleaning

Clean with warm water and a soft cloth. Use cleaners specifically made for marble.

Stain Prevention

Marble absorbs liquids quickly — blot spills immediately to avoid stains.

Protection

Always use cutting boards, trivets, and coasters.

Polishing

Professional polishing restores shine and removes minor scratches.

Avoid

Vinegar, lemon, bleach, and anything acidic.

Caring for Your Stone Surfaces

Natural stone is not just a surface, it is a long-term investment. With proper care and the right maintenance habits, granite and marble surfaces can stay strong, functional, and visually appealing for many years.

Know Your Stone Type

Every natural stone behaves differently. Granite, marble, quartz, slate, onyx, travertine, limestone, and sandstone each have their own texture, strength, and sensitivity. Understanding the stone you have helps you choose the correct cleaning and care methods and avoid unnecessary damage.

Everyday Cleaning Practices

Routine cleaning plays an important role in maintaining stone surfaces. Using gentle, stone-safe products and simple daily care methods helps keep surfaces clean while protecting their natural finish and color.

Protection Through Sealing

Certain stone surfaces benefit from sealing to reduce absorption and protect against stains and moisture. Knowing whether your stone needs sealing and how often it should be done helps improve durability and extend its lifespan.

Dealing With Common Stone Problems

Over time, stone may show signs of wear such as stains, dullness, or surface marks. With proper care techniques and timely attention, many of these issues can be minimized or corrected, restoring the stone’s natural look.

Simple Care Tips for Homeowners

Basic day-to-day habits can make a big difference. Small preventive steps and correct handling help maintain the appearance and strength of stone surfaces without the need for frequent repairs.

When to Choose Professional Support

For deep cleaning, surface restoration, or repair work, professional stone care services provide safe and effective solutions. Expert treatment helps protect your stone investment and ensures long-term performance.

Supporting the Life of Your Stone

Consistent care and informed maintenance choices are essential for preserving the beauty and durability of granite and marble. Following proper guidelines helps your stone surfaces look great and perform well for years to come.
