Cleaning & Maintenance

Crown Granite & Marble Inc. applies a permanent penetrating densifier and sealer that helps prevent crater absorption and staining. This does not mean substances such as grease, oil, or red wine etc. should be left on granite countertops for long periods of time.

In addition, clients should be very selective when choosing cleaners for their granite counter tops. Cleaners that contain alkalis and acidic chemicals will breakdown the sealers and make the shiny on the granite appear cloudy and will make it vulnerable to staining. Most stone cleaners are fine, but it is always a good idea to check its PH levels; a neutral PH level is ideal.

Normally all that is needed to clean granite is dish soap and water and a dry cloth to wipe up any residue. Stubborn dried on food, paint, or glue etc. can be removed with pure steel wool (not an S.O.S pad) or a razor blade.
