Routine Care

There are two types of granite countertops: Honed and Polished. For daily cleaning, please use only warm water and wipe out the entire area with a soft cloth.

Preventing Damage

Never apply wax or acrylics to your natural stone. They may produce a temporary shine but could actually damage the stone.

Any chemical components should never be used, because they can destroy shine of your countertops.

Although granite is solid and non - porous, be sure to follow these guidelines to prevent any damage.

ATTENTION

• Wipe up spills immediately to avoid stains.

• Avoid cutting directly on granite countertops.

• Avoid dragging pots and pans to prevent scratches.

• Do not use ammonia - based cleaners. Ammonia -     based cleaners tend to break the sealer on granite.

• Avoid using metal scouring pads, as they may           cause rust stains.
