Granite is a durable and beautiful natural stone and does not require much maintenance. But granite does require minimal care to keep it in good condition. In order to do that, some simple steps are:

Use proper cleaning products

The simplest way to maintain the granite countertops Denver surfaces it to clean them on a regular basis, by using warm water, mild dish soap and a paper towel or a granite cleaner. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Products that contain bleach, vinegar or citric acid can damage your countertop.

Protect the surface

In order to protect the surface, you could use some coasters under drinks to prevent contact with the condensation from the drink glasses or cutting borders when are preparing food. Typically, granite countertops are resistant to heat, but you could try to avoid putting hot pans on the surface.

Use a sealant

Although not all the granite countertops require a sealant, it will give them extra protection against the spills. Because granite is a porous stone, the liquid substances and stains can easily seep into the surface. Basically, this sealant fills the stone pores. Nevertheless, do not forget to clean up the spills as soon as they occur. The most dangerous are wine, coffee, cooking oil and sauces.
