                                              GRANITE SLAB

               Granite is a natural stone, and therefore it is porous and needs to be
               sealed.  Regular granite sealers are inexpensive and are easy to use. 
               Because the sealers vary in quality, we recommend using a STONE-
               TECH (Dupont) brand granite sealer.

               Daily Care: Clean your granite countertops
               daily with warm water and a sponge.  You
               may also want to use a sponge soaked in
               warm water and regular dish soap, as long
               as it is chemical free (most are chemical
               free). Do not use any kind of chemical
               cleaner on your granite countertops. Chemical
cleaners will take the sealer out of the granite.  If a
chemical cleaner has been applied to your granite
countertops, even if it is a small amount, immediately
reapply sealer on the affected area.

Sealing Your Granite Countertops:
When we install your countertops, we
apply our standard sealer, and the sealer lasts anywhere from about 6 month
to 5 years, depending on usage. 

When to Reseal: The porosity of the stone varies according to the color of
granite, and because some colors are naturally more porous than others, they
may use up more sealer, and they also may need to be resealed more often. 
A great way to check if your granite countertop needs to be resealed is to
place a drop of water on your countertop, and if the water stays on the
countertops in a water droplet form, the sealer is still holding up.  If the water
does not stay and is seeping through the pours, then you would need to reseal
your granite countertops.

How to Seal Your Granite Countertops:
1. Make sure your countertop surfaces are clean.  You may use soap and
water or granite cleaner.
2. Apply the sealer onto the granite using a cloth or a brush (for less waist use
a brush).
3. Leave the sealer on the countertop surfaces for about 5 minutes to allow it
to penetrate the pours.
4. Wipe down your countertops.
