We offer the following care and maintenance tips for your benefit: General Cleaning Tips: Providing daily care for your natural stone countertops is pretty basic. Both granite and marble can be cleaned with warm water mixed with non-detergent (pH neutral) dish soap. When you wipe down your countertops, you will want to make sure the dish soap doesn't contain any dyes or animal fats, which can leave unwanted residue behind. If tough build up occurs, soak rag with water and cleaner and leave it on top of the problem area for at least 10 minutes. It is important to avoid using harsh chemicals high in acid and alkaline. Re-Sealing: If you would like to maintain stain resistance in your natural stone countertop, it is highly advised that you periodically apply sealer to your countertops. We suggest that you do this every six months to a year. With this sealing, your granite and marble will have a nonporous layer of protection, preventing stains and other damage.
