Maintenance
Your new granite worktop should need only little care and maintenance.
Spills and Stains
Cleaning your granite worktops with a mild soap and water solution after any spills should be all that's required to keep them looking as good as new.
Granite Worktop Care
Granite worktops are highly durable and resilient but investing a small amount of time to look after them will pay off in the long term.
Your granite worktops will look stunning for years with a little care and maintenance.
Here are a few pointers:
- Clean any spills as soon as they occur.
- Use a chopping board for cutting.
- Avoid abrasive cleaning cloths.
- Avoid strong cleaning solutions like bleach and acids.
- Although your granite is heat resistant, to keep the polished finish for years avoid placing hot pans directly onto granite.
In reality granite worktops are durable and designed to last for along time, keeping your worktops looking like new will be easy if you follow the above guidelines. Granite and Quartz worktops require the same type of care and are ultimately much more long lasting than any other type of kitchen worktop material.
Although the cost of granite worktops have reduced in recent years they are still a substantial investment and one that can pay off in the future, if you take care of your worktops you can enjoy their beauty while adding value and desirability to your home.
