Stone Surface Maintenance: How to Care for Granite, Marble & Quartz

Natural stone is an investment. With proper care, your granite, marble, or quartz surfaces can stay looking pristine for decades. Here’s your easy maintenance guide.

Granite: Tough but Needs Respect

Granite is one of the most durable countertop materials — resistant to heat and scratches.

Tips:✔ Wipe daily with mild soap and warm water✔ Use cutting boards — knives can dull edges✔ Seal once or twice a year to prevent staining

Avoid: Harsh acidic cleaners like vinegar or lemon — they can dull the polish.

Marble: Elegant but Sensitive

Marble’s beautiful veining makes it a favourite, but its calcium structure means it’s more porous.

Tips:✔ Wipe spills immediately (especially wine, coffee, citrus)✔ Use coasters and trays✔ Seal regularly — ask us for a sealing schedule

Best cleaner: pH-neutral stone soap.

Quartz: Low Maintenance Champion

Engineered quartz is non-porous, meaning no sealing needed.

Daily Care:✔ Warm water + soft cloth✔ Mild dish soap for spills

Avoid:– Abrasive pads– High alkaline cleaners

Conclusion

With the right care routine, your stone surfaces will stay breathtaking and functional for years.
