To Seal or Not to Seal? Yes, Say the Folks at Marble Tech
Posted by Laura Nelson on June 21, 2010
What’s the deal with sealing granite counter tops? It should be done yearly, according to the experts at Marble Tech, Inc. Granite has a natural, porous finish, which can absorb stains. A sealer prevents stains, and doesn’t affect the finish in any way.
To keep your countertops beautiful and stain free, spray the sealer on, and leave for 5 to 10 minutes. Do not let the sealer dry on the surface. Next, wipe off the countertop with a clean paper towel. Wait 24 hours to clean any surfaces that have been treated to allow the sealer to fully penetrate the stone.
Cleaning and sealing products are available from Marble Tech, Inc., including a special 15-year sealer.
