granite characteristics
Granite is a natural stone product made from igneous rock formed from volcanoes. Extremely durable and versatile, granite is one of the hardest natural materials on earth. Although it is extremely durable, it isn’t indestructible. Granite is heat-resistant and scratch-resistant, but because it is porous, it requires occasional sealing to protect against staining.

how to maintain your granite masterpiece
Regular Sealing (Twice a Year)
Ensure your granite product is properly sealed to protect against stains and spills. Regularly check for signs of wear and reapply sealant as needed to maintain its protective barrier.
Routine Cleaning
Clean your granite regularly with a pH-neutral cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the surface. Wipe up spills promptly to prevent stains from setting.
Avoiding Damage
Prevent scratches by using cutting boards. While your knife blades won't damage the granite itself, they can wear down the seal over time. Be cautious with acidic substances like lemon juice or vinegar, as they can etch the surface.
