Favoured above many other stone products, granite is valued for its resistance to acids and its hardness. It is a porous stone and can be stained or damaged if not sealed before use.
On the other hand, granite tiles are easier to work with because they are smaller and lighter than marble.
Due to its resistance to acid and its hardness, granite is becoming an increasingly popular choice for countertop.
This article will guide you to cleaning and maintaining your Granite surfaces so that it will be in optimal condition and last longer.

How to Maintain and keep your Granite in good condition
To maintain your Granite, we recommends using Granite and Marble Impregnation once a year or so.
Granite and Marble Impregnation
$60.00 $48.00
Granite and Marble Impregnation is a ready-to-use special impregnation that protects against oil, grease and water marks. It also helps to block dirt, moisture, paint, oil and grease, and makes cleaning easier. In the event of a spill, any staining liquids can be wiped off easily before they penetrate the surface. Finally, it protects grout against water and oil-based marks.
1. Ensure that the base is clean, dry and absorbent before the treatment.
2. Apply the undiluted product liberally, in an even layer – according to how absorbent the base is – using a soft brush or plastic roller.
3. A second application will make it more effective, but only apply as much as the base can absorb.
4. Let it sit for about 1 hour, then use a dry, absorbent cloth to wipe away any impregnation that did not soak in. Do not leave any streaks.
5. The drying time is 3 to 4 hours; do not step on the treated surface during this time.
6. The impregnation will take full effect after 24 hours
