Granite counter top

[Director]

Wife was asking me tonight if we are supposed to treat our granite counter tops and i don't know.. She mentioned they don't seem as easy to clean and leaves streaks when cleaning..

Tops are 3 years old and the island is a high use area around the sink..

Anyone have experience or info on this?


Looks good to me but boss is on me now..

Not sure but would like to know also. Have a granite table and regret it so far. Looks dirty all the time and has rum and coke rings all over the place. Too late for coasters now.

When I had mine installed last year, I was told that I should have it "cleaned and re-sealed" once a year. The guys told me about something called 3in1 made for granite. I was thinking I was just gonna try putting on a coat of wax. We sell a spray wax called Fukken Wax (Fooooken), and have had a few people come in and buy it specifically for their granite countertops.

we install plently of granit counters on our jobs. the installers usually say depending on use to seal every 6 to 12 months. use a natural stone sealer found at any hardware store. it is a poures surface as any other stone... the high polish is deceiving.

Yup needs to be sealed from the get go and make sure it's done per the instructions of the sealant you choose.
