Simple cleaning requires only soap and water, but Artisan branded cleaning products are recommended for products under warranty. Professional sealing is needed every ten years, and occasional polishing may be required.

Granite countertops are easy to maintain and care for. This natural stone is exceptionally durable and strong. To keep its impeccable looks and performance, make sure to seal it once a year. When your local granite fabricator installs your granite countertops, they will seal their surface. Sealant gives your granite countertops best protection against moisture and spills. If you want to put the sealant yourself, make sure you use a high-quality product and follow manufacturer’s instructions.

On an everyday basis, clean your granite counters using a soft, cotton cloth and mild water with just a drop of ph neutral cleanser or any ph neutral liquid soap. Make sure not to use any scrubbers or harsh cleansers. If your granite is sealed properly, light cleaning is all that you need to keep it looking and performing perfectly. All types of granite countertops can withhold high temperatures, so putting hot pots and pans on them is not a problem. However, a damage is possible under extreme temperatures.
