Common Granite Problems

Granite is harder than marble, but it isn’t care-free:

  • Oil stains near the stove. Cooking oil darkens unsealed granite.
  • Water absorbing into the stone. Dark patches around sinks mean the sealer has worn off.
  • Streaky, cloudy film. Residue from household sprays dulls the surface.
  • Hard water deposits. Mineral spots form around faucets.
  • Dull, worn finish. Daily use slowly wears the polish.

Our Granite Care Process

  1. Inspection and water test. We check the granite’s finish and how much it absorbs.
  2. Preparation. We protect cabinets, backsplashes, and nearby surfaces. Please clear items off counters before we arrive.
  3. Deep cleaning. We remove grease, film, and mineral deposits with stone-safe products.
  4. Stain treatment. We draw out or lighten oil and water stains where possible.
  5. Polishing, if needed. We bring back the shine on dull areas with stone polishing.
  6. Sealing. We seal the granite to help it resist stains. If we seal, allow 24 to 48 hours for the sealer to cure before normal use and mopping.

Aftercare for Granite

  • Allow 24 to 48 hours for the sealer to cure before normal use.
  • Use a pH-neutral stone cleaner. Many all-purpose sprays leave film or wear down sealer.
  • Wipe oil and spills promptly.
  • Do a water test. If water darkens the granite, it’s time to reseal.

How long the sealer lasts depends on the granite and how heavily it’s used. Plan on resealing about every 2 years.
