Frequently Asked Questions |
Q) What are your recommendations for routine care and cleaning of granite or natural stone?
• For everyday cleaning a solution of mild soap and warm water
is recommended. If a heavier cleaner is needed we suggest and sell DUPONT
StoneTech Professional Stone & Tile Cleaner however any cleaner with no alcohol
and ammonia will be fine. The heavier the ammonia and alcohol content of the
cleaner the quicker it will wear down your sealer, making your stone more prone
to staining.
• Do not use products that contain lemon, vinegar or other acids on marble. The
high acid content may etch the surface.
• Do not use abrasive powders or creams such as Comet or Soft Scrub on any natural
stone; these products may scratch the surface of your stone.
• Clean spills up promptly, especially thick, colorful sauces (i.e., hot sauce,
pasta sauce) and oils.
• We recommend sealing your countertop 2 times a year. (Every 6 months.)
• Before sealing it is important to make sure that the stone is clean and dry.

• Use an all white paper towel to apply the sealer making sure to cover all exposed
areas. We suggest and sell DUPONT StoneTech Professional Stone,
Tile Care products but if you choose to buy
another brand make sure that it is either silicone or water based and contains no
Teflon.
• Let the sealer sit for 10 minutes and then wipe off the excess with a dry paper
towel. It is not necessary to let the sealer sit more then that. The stone will
only absorb what?s needed to fill the pores.
