How to Care for Granite Countertops
Practical advice for Utah homeowners planning a new countertop project.
Start With the Space
Daily granite care is straightforward. Wipe spills promptly, use a soft cloth or sponge, and choose a pH-neutral cleaner made for stone. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh acidic cleaners that may dull the finish or affect the sealer.
Compare the Details
Use trivets and cutting boards even though granite is durable. Ask how often your specific stone should be resealed because porosity and use vary. A simple water-drop check can help indicate whether the surface is absorbing moisture faster than it should.
See Materials in Person
Photos are useful for inspiration, but samples reveal color, movement, and texture more accurately. Granite Kings offers free in-home estimates and can guide you through a supplier visit when you want to see additional material choices.
