Granite and quartz are among the strongest minerals available for your kitchen, but like anything that you need a little care to keep them looking new for many years.
Staining usually occurs when fluid leaks from the material of your worktop and dry, discolouring it. To reduce us to apply a layer to all our stone worktops Porosity reduces the worksurface. Naturally it lessens the effectiveness over time and we recommend that you use A special wax and polish kit every so often. Reputable supplier such as the concept of granite will give you a free kit per purchase / purchase / order.
For cleaning, water with mild soap is usually enough. Use a neutral PH detergent to be safe, rinse with water and buff with a soft clean cloth. We had good results using only the E-cloths and water ... E-cloths are a modern way to clean, use of advanced fiber Techology to eliminate dirt, without even the need to use detergents (and hey, think of your hand! That they got eligible a try).
Abrasive cleaning products and cleaning detergents may leave little micro-scratches on the surface which over time will leave the brilliant granite end a little dulled. The granite or quartz smooth surface is still smooth and a soft cloth is quite enough.
Alkaline and chlorine based cleaners are extremely powerful chemicals and should be avoided, such also do not use bleach. Granite continues it is good to end the many animals without such treatment?
Clean immediately after contact acidic things (eg alcohol and vinegar) and a strong food color (eg orange or blackcurrant). Although granite is treated and sealed before installation, it is work only so far and wiping immediately will significantly prolong the beautiful finish of your granite.
Protect work surfaces from hot pans and plates with a dish ot stove. Granite is tough stuff, but some of the pigments that give the granite it is rich pattern is slightly discolor when exposed to extreme heat.
Use a slab-board. Granite is the second hardest stone on earth (only diamond difficult) but it is still scratch and wear to metal implements are used to it.
It is recommended once a few years to apply the proper polish granite refinishing the surface to keep water-resistant seal to improve care hygiene and reduces the porocity the rock. You can get it to high street, or request your preferred granite supplier for a recommendation.
Guidelines This should not put you a natural stone worktop: on the contrary are just common sense. Follow the simple instructions and your worktop will stay looking new year and years, and likely to outlast your house!
