Trouble-Free Granite Care and Maintenance from Edmonton's World Stone

Crafted by nature, granite is made to last. Its density and durability make it scratch, water and heat resistant. These innate properties, along with proper granite care will keep your granite countertops, granite table tops or granite tile looking beautiful for a lifetime.

Simple Granite Care

• Dust your granite counters frequently with a clean, soft rag to avoid dirt build-up.
• Clean with a ph neutral cleaner like mild liquid soap or stone cleaner specially formulated for granite.
• Rinse and dry your granite countertop with a soft cloth thoroughly to avoid films or streaks from cleaners.
• Look for commercial wipes that clean granite while leaving a streak-free shine.
• Blot spills quickly. Granite countertops may stain if liquids are left on the surface too long.
• Use coasters for glasses and try to keep anything acidic like fruit juice or wine away from your granite kitchen countertops.
• Some people choose to seal their granite countertops with a non-toxic sealer to make them more stain resistant. A sealant will need to be reapplied every 6 to 12 months.
• Others prefer not to seal their granite counters because they feel it is unnecessary, or are concerned about adding chemicals to a natural product. At World Stone, we offer literature and information that can help you make an informed decision about whether or not to seal your granite countertops.
