Stone care

Care for your granite with confidence — after install too.

Quick guidance for cleaning, sealing, heat, and daily use so your prefab granite looks great for years.

Sealing

Reseal granite when water no longer beads on the surface. Busy kitchens: every 1–2 years. Ask us for a sealer matched to your color and finish.

Heat

Granite handles hot pans, but sudden extreme shifts can stress any stone. Use a trivet for very high-heat cookware to protect the sealant.

Daily cleaning

Mild dish soap and warm water on a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive powders, vinegar, lemon, and generic bathroom cleaners — all can dull the polish.

Scratch & stain care

Granite is hard, but use cutting boards to protect both knives and stone. Wipe spills quickly — especially oil and wine — to protect unsealed or honed surfaces.

Finish-specific care

The finish changes how you care for it.

  • Polished

    Most forgiving; easiest to wipe and re-polish. Shine dulls only with repeated harsh cleaner use.

  • Honed

    Matte surfaces can etch slightly with acids. Mild soap and water keep it calm; reseal when needed.

  • Leathered

    Low-glare and fingerprint-resistant. Periodic resealing keeps the texture looking rich and hides everyday marks.
