One of the biggest fears people may have about natural stone is the maintenance it requires. With the public increasingly turning to the use of natural materials in the home, granite has become the counter-top of choice for today’s home owners. Synthetic solid surface materials are no match for the richness, depth, and incredible performance of real granite. Unlike laminates and solid-surface materials, a hot pot or frying pan has no effect on granite’s mirror-like finish.
The diamond-like hardness of granite makes it virtually impervious to abrasions, stains and heat. (It’s important to note that granite won’t stand temperature stress such as fireplaces where the stone expands and contracts in very short period of time. The seams, however, will prevent cracks.) Most importantly, by choosing a granite counter-top you not only give your kitchen everlasting performance and beauty, but you also increase the value of your home.
You’ll find caring for your natural stone is easy. Warm water, mild dishwashing liquid, and soft clean cloth are generally all that’s needed to maintain your granite counter-top surface. The best care you can give your natural stone is preventive care. By following a few suggestions, your counter-tops will last a lifetime while maintaining a brand-new appearance.
Basic Cleaning and Maintenance

1. Avoid using cleaning products with any kind of acid or abrasive; they may cause de-colorations or scratches.
2. Do not stand , kneel down on or sit on your counter-tops, as they could crack or break.
3. Do not place hot pans or other objects directly on your counter-tops. This may cause discoloration (mainly in dark granites) and/or cracking. Always use a protective barrier between any hot object and granite such as trivet or mat.
