Galaxy Granite Care and Maintenance

Granite is regarded as one of the hardest of the natural stones with distinctive characteristics such as color variations and pitting, making your counters all the more exceptional.  Being a low maintenance material, scratching and staining on surfaces could be considered rare.  This does not mean that accidents will not occur.  We would like to take this opportunity to provide some recommendations for easy care and maintenance of your stone to assure your granite's radiance:

  • Do use coasters under all glasses (especially beverages containing alcohol or citrus juices)
  • Do NOT leave olive oil, tomatoes, or other citric foods ontop of granite, this will leave marks on granite
  • Do use mild soap cleaners, neutral cleaners, or stone soap with warm water on countertop surfaces
  • Do NOT use too much cleaner or soap because this may leave a film and cause streaks
  • Do blot up spills immediately
  • Do NOT use products that contain lemon, vinegar, or other acids on marble or limestone
