Countertop Care Tips
To best take care of your natural stone countertops, follow the care tips below:
MAKE SURE TO CLEAN YOUR COUNTERTOP AFTER EVERY USE!
DO NOT let liquid spills sit on your countertop for too long. If it is a liquid that will damage your stone, the longer you leave it on the surface, the greater the damage it will cause. You should blot up the spill and apply a neutralizing cleaner.
DO NOT use any cleaning products unless it says it is safe for natural stone.
DO NOT use metallic or scouring pads that are too abrasive as they can scratch the surface of your stone. Scouring pads tend to rust over time and if you use them to clean, you may be adding rust to your stones without being aware of it, which is another reason why you should avoid them.
DO NOT throw your items on your counter, do so gently to not cause chips and cracks.
USE tablecloths under anything that could cause scratches on your countertop.
USE placemats or trivets under your items. All stones have a certain resistance to heat but it is better to prevent damage due to excess heat.
USE coasters under glasses, especially if it's a drink made from citrus or if you need to use vinegar while cooking.
USE a stone-safe cleaner to clean your countertop regularly that won't leave the surface chalky or cloudy.
