Don’t Forget to Protect the Outside of Your Home

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

We love a well-kept home, both indoor and out. Making sure your kitchen, bathroom, and living room stay fresh into the winter months is tough, as each room will receive much more use and much more wear, but it’s the outside you really need to focus on.

Countertop Tips: Keeping Your Countertop Clean

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Here at Granite Transformations, we often get questions about maintaining newly installed granite or trend stone countertops. We hear from a lot of people who want to know how best to care for their countertops. One of our clients recently posed a question which I would like to answer here so others who had the same question can benefit. The client asked how he should go about caring for and cleaning his granite countertop.

To maintain the beauty of your countertop, is fortunately quite simple. If you notice a stain or any spills on the countertop such as oil, sauce, or cooking fluid, make sure to clean the surface as soon as possible. All you need to do is dip a soft cloth or sponge in warm water and gently rub the surface of the countertop. Avoid using soaps, alcohols or detergents as these will only damage your countertop and destroy its beautiful luster.

Cleaning your countertop doesn’t have to be difficult! We hope the simple tips provided above will help you maintain your countertop for the years to come. If anyone has further questions, please pass them on and we will gladly answer them here.
