The Masterpiece of Your Kitchen

The Essential Guide
Granite is incredibly tough, but it is a natural, porous stone. To keep that "day-one" luster for decades, follow these simple care steps.
1. The Golden Rule: Seal Regularly
Most granite requires a protective seal to prevent liquids from seeping into the stone.
The Water Test: Drop a small amount of water on your worktop. If it beads up, your seal is strong. If it soaks in and darkens the stone after a few minutes, it’s time to reseal.
Frequency: We generally recommend resealing once every 12 to 24 months, depending on usage and stone density.
2. Daily Cleaning
You don’t need expensive chemicals to keep granite clean.
The Simple Way: Use warm, soapy water (mild dish soap) and a soft microfiber cloth.
Avoid the "Acid Attack": Never use vinegar, lemon juice, or cleaners containing bleach or ammonia. These acidic substances can "etch" the stone, dulling the polish over time.
3. Heat & Scratches
While granite is famous for its resilience, a little caution goes a long way:
Trivets are your friend: While granite is heat-resistant, "thermal shock" (extreme temperature change) can occasionally cause cracks. Use a trivet for pans coming straight off the high heat.
Cutting Boards: Granite is harder than your knife blades! Cutting directly on the stone won't hurt the granite, but it will dull your knives instantly. Use a cutting board to protect your cutlery.
4. Dealing with Spills
Granite is stain-resistant, not stain-proof.
Blot, don't wipe: If you spill wine, oil, or coffee, blot it immediately with a paper towel. Wiping can spread the liquid further into the pores.
The "Poultice" Fix: For stubborn oil stains, a paste of baking soda and water left overnight can often "draw" the stain out of the stone.
Pro Tip: Always dry your worktop after cleaning. Leaving water to air-dry can result in dull streaks or limescale buildup, especially in hard-water areas.
