How to Care for Your Countertops
Countertop Care Guide
Material-specific care tips for granite, quartz, and recycled glass countertops. Keep your surfaces looking new for decades.
The Basics
Three Habits That Keep Countertops Looking New
Wipe spills as they happen with mild soap and warm water. Use trivets under hot pans. Reseal natural stone once a year. That is 90 percent of countertop care. Material-specific notes are below.
Granite Care
Seal annually with a stone sealer. Wipe with mild soap and water. Avoid lemon juice or vinegar sitting on the surface.
Quartz Care
No sealing required. Wipe with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive scrubbers and harsh chemicals like bleach.
Recycled Glass
Similar to granite. Seal annually if cement-based. Wipe gently to preserve the polished aggregate look.
Daily Maintenance
Coasters under glasses, cutting boards under knives, trivets under hot pans. Simple habits prevent 90 percent of damage.
Stain Response
Wipe spills immediately. For set-in stains on granite, a baking soda poultice usually lifts them out.
Sealing Schedule
Test by dripping water on the surface. If it absorbs within five minutes, it is time to reseal (granite and recycled glass only).
