Essential Stone Care Guide

Man cleaning a countertop

🌟 Countertop Care & Maintenance Guide

Keep your countertops looking pristine and performing beautifully for years with our daily care and maintenance tips for marble, granite, quartzite, porcelain, and quartz countertops. This comprehensive page is designed as your essential resource for understanding the best ways to clean, seal, and protect your investment—whether your surfaces are new countertops or existing installations.


Why Maintenance Matters


Your countertops aren’t just surfaces—they’re centerpieces of your kitchen, bathroom, or workspace. Proper maintenance not only preserves their natural beauty but also extends their lifespan, prevents stains, and keeps them resistant to etching.



Daily Cleaning & Care


  • For granite countertops, use a pH-neutral cleaner or mild dish soap with warm water. Avoid abrasive pads or acidic cleaners (like vinegar) that can dull the sealant or etch the surface.
     
  • For limestone and marble countertops, wipe spills immediately—especially acidic liquids like citrus, wine, or tomato sauce. Use a soft cloth and stone-safe cleaners.
     
  • For quartzite and quartz surfaces, daily cleaning with gentle soap and water works well. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia.
     
  • Porcelain countertops are extremely durable, but they benefit from regular cleaning with non-abrasive, pH-neutral cleaners to keep them looking their best.
     


Sealing & Long-Term Care


  • Granite and marble surfaces should be sealed every 6–12 months, depending on usage and the type of stone.
     
  • Quartz and porcelain countertops are non-porous and don’t typically require sealing, but cleaning them properly will maintain their luster.
     
  • Test your sealants' effectiveness by placing a few drops of water on the surface: if it darkens or absorbs, it’s time to reseal.


 

✨ When Daily Care Isn’t Enough
Even with the best maintenance routine, countertops can show signs of wear over time — from etching and staining on marble to chips or dullness on granite and quartz. If your surfaces need more than just cleaning, our professional countertop restoration services in West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, and surrounding areas can breathe new life into your countertops.
