Care & Maintenance

Care and Maintenance – Granite Worktops Granite is a natural stone that has a highly polished surface that will retain its sheen and colour for many years. Simple routine maintenance is all that is required to keep granite looking fresh and new.

Cleaning – Using a soft cloth or sponge wipe the surface with clean, hot soapy water to remove any surface dirt If a stain is slightly more resistant the use of mild or neutral detergents will usually be sufficient to remove it Preventing Damage

Do not place hot pots and pans directly on to your work surface as this may cause damage.

Always use suitable protection against heat damage by using a trivet or a pan stand.

Wipe up any spillages immediately, especially those involving oil, strongly coloured foods and drinks, and acidic spillages such as vinegar to prevent the possibility of staining.

Never use abrasive cleaning products such as metal pads, scouring detergents and wool wire as these harsh abrasives will mark the surface.

Avoid alkaline and chlorine based cleaners and do not use bleach. Granite is easily maintained without the need for such abrasive cleaners.

When preparing food a protective mat or cutting board should always be used to prevent unnecessary marking on the work surface
