Although granite is extremely hard and durable, there are several things you can do to keep your countertops in good shape. Keeping your countertops in good shape will allow them to keep their value for years. Keep reading for some tips on caring for granite countertops.
Seal Granite Countertops
By placing a sealant over your granite countertops, you are able to protect the granite from many stains and harsh wear on the surface. Adding a sealant on your countertop will not make them stain-resistant, but it will give you more time to wipe up a spill before it stains the countertop. Granite is a porous surface because it is a natural rock, and letting spills sit on it can cause staining.
Keep Harsh Cleaners Away from
Granite Countertops
Granite countertops do not need to be cleaned with harsh or abrasive cleaners. Water and a mild dish soap are sufficient for cleaning the granite countertops.
Be Aware of Extreme Temperatures on Granite Countertops
 As mentioned before, granite is very durable and can handle most high temperatures. However, depending on how thick the granite is, your countertop might not be able to absorb high temperatures in a short amount of time. Placing a hot pad or trivet down before putting a hot pan on the countertop is an easy way to protect the surface.
Avoid Spills on Granite Countertops
Anything other than water (or mild dish soap) can harm the surface of your granite countertops. Spills with high acidity (such as orange juice, coffee, and alcohol) are particularly harmful to granite, and should be soaked up with a paper towel and wiped off with a damp cloth as soon as possible.
