by Jack S. Limestone Floor SealingThere is a huge misconception among the users that granite stone is really hard to maintain and take care of. The fact is that if done regularly, maintaining and talking care can be very easy. It is the news of the past that this stone required more care and look after than others, but with the insurgence of even more advanced sealers, maintenance of this stone has become very simple. According to the experts, users simply have to avail timely granite treatment services and take the following steps through DIY.
Use a premium sealer
- Experts stress that one of the easiest ways is using the best quality sealer present in the markets and if not, at least use the one recommended by the installation team.
- The reason is that only high quality sealers can protect this stone from the callousness as a matter of fact that this stone is porous.
- Because of porous surface, it is prone to get attacked by bacteria more, but with these sealers, you can create a kind of barrier to prevent the surface of this stone.
- Moreover, these sealers make this stone much easier to clean since dirt is less susceptible to getting caught in the pores.
- One more benefit is that they also repel stains, water and oil that can lead to your countertop looking poorly over time.
Granite deserves no special treatment
- According to the experts of granite treatment services, this stone is indeed very hard and resistant to all kinds of harshness and scratches, but still care should be taken while dealing with it.
- In this regards, experts recommend using hot pads when dealing with super hot pans, just to be safe.
- If you have a granite kitchen countertop, you should always use cutting boards and avoid cutting directly into the counter.
- Moreover, you should wipe away the spills immediately and avoid sliding any heavy cookware across the counter.
Dust the surface prior to cleaning
- One more trick given by the experts of granite treatment services is that you should dust the surface before starting the cleaning process.
- This is because of the fact that the texture of this stone hides the dust that can scratch the surface if cleaning is started without dusting.
- In this case, it’s a good idea to use a microfiber cloth to wipe dust off the surface before you do any sealing.
Use only the recommended cleaning methods
- Experts say that in terms of cleaning or maintenance of this stone, you should use only the recommended cleaning methods and products.
- This means that while cleaning up the spills you should use citrus based cleaners.
- Other than this, you also need to ensure that the cleaners are mild and contain no abrasives.
- You should avoid strong and other chemical based cleaners such as bleach, ammonia, etc., as they can seep into the pores to cause discolouration.
- You should use very gentle cleaners that can be used easily to give your countertop a weekly cleansing.
- As for cleaning materials, a soft cloth or sponge will suffice.
