How to Care for Your New Stone Countertops

Whether you are set to begin a kitchen remodel or simply get new countertops installed, you will need to learn how best to care for your new surfaces. Proper care of your countertops will not only keep your kitchen looking nice but also help you get more of a return on your investment. At Corbella Kitchen & Bath, we can help you choose the perfect countertops for your kitchen to meet your needs and style requirements. First, let’s go through some best practices for taking care of your new granite or quartz countertops.

How to Care for Granite

Countless homeowners choose granite countertops because they offer a stunning and high-end aesthetic and durability. You only need to use a mild dish soap with some water and a cleaning cloth that is damp enough to clean your countertops. You’ll want to stay away from harsh abrasives or acidic cleaners. Remember that granite countertops will need to be resealed annually to protect them against stains.

How to Care for Quartz

Quartz is an engineered stone with a nonporous surface that resists scratching and staining, making it exceptionally low maintenance. As with granite, you’ll want to avoid abrasive or highly acidic cleaners. Also, dish soap with warm water on a microfiber cloth will work well to clean these surfaces. What’s nice about quartz is that it does not require annual resealing like natural stone does.
