Caring For Counter Surfaces

Granite or Natural Stone Surfaces

• Clean surface with warm water and a few drops of dishwashing detergent and dry with a soft cloth.

• Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

• Avoid placing hot cooking oils on the counter top.

• Avoid cutting directly on granite, it dulls the knives.

• Heat and scratch resistant. (Granite, diamond, quartz and stoneware may scratch granite.)

• A non-toxic penetrating sealer is applied to the counter at time of installation.

• Counter tops should be resealed every year.

Solid Surface

The non-porous surface of solid surface requires the simplest clean up with soap and water or an all-purpose liquid cleaner. Spills stay on the surface and are not absorbed and can easily be wiped clean.  Minor cuts and scratches can be repaired. Always use a hot pad or trivet under hot pots or pans and any heat producing appliances.
