Frequently Asked Questions About Unique Granite & Marble
How do I clean my natural stone countertop?
For daily maintenance, we suggest using a spray bottle filled with a mixture of water and a small amount of Dawn dish soap. Alternatively, you can use a pH-balanced cleaner specifically designed for natural stone. There are also several stone-safe disinfectant cleaners available in the market.
Is my countertop sealed and how often do I need to seal them?
Your countertop is sealed prior to project completion. However, some stones may require additional sealing over time. The frequency of resealing depends on the stone type and the cleaning products used. If water darkens your countertop, it's time to reseal. The resealing process is straightforward and involves simply wiping the sealant on and off.
If natural stone is so "indestructible" why can't I use regular cleaners?
For granite countertops, which are silica-based, standard cleaners won't damage the stone itself but may degrade the applied sealant. Marble countertops, being calcite-based, are susceptible to etching from chemicals found in many regular cleaning products.
Do I need to use polish on my countertop?
Polishing is not necessary for your countertops. They have been professionally polished using diamond abrasives and water, creating a lasting finish. While you may apply polish for extra shine before special occasions, it's not required for maintenance. Contact our certified team at Unique Granite & Marble to answer further questions you may have.
Can I set a hot pan on my countertop?
We recommend using trivets when placing hot cookware on your stone countertop. While the stone can withstand heat, a sudden temperature change from cool to hot could potentially cause an air pocket within the stone to expand, resulting in surface damage.
Is granite scratch-proof?
Granite is not scratch-proof, but it is highly scratch-resistant. Scratching occurs when an object harder than the surface makes contact. As granite is one of the hardest materials, with only quartz, silica, and diamond being harder, it's difficult to scratch. However, be cautious with unglazed ceramics, as they often contain silica.
How should I clean my natural stone countertop?
Use a mixture of water and a small amount of Dawn dish soap in a spray bottle for daily cleaning, or a pH-balanced cleaner designed for natural stone. Stone-safe disinfectant cleaners are also suitable.
Is my countertop sealed, and how often should it be resealed?
Countertops are sealed before project completion, but some stones may need resealing over time. If water darkens your countertop, it's time to reseal, which involves wiping sealant on and off.
Why shouldn't I use regular cleaners on natural stone countertops?
Regular cleaners can degrade sealants on granite and cause etching on marble countertops because of their chemical components.
Do I need to polish my countertop regularly?
No, professional diamond polishing creates a lasting finish. Polishing is optional for extra shine before special occasions.
Can I place hot pans directly on my stone countertop?
It's recommended to use trivets as sudden temperature changes may cause surface damage due to air pockets expanding within the stone.
