Granite Care Singapore

Granite And Its Advantages

Granite is a natural stone like marble, but differs from marble due to its characteristic crystal pattern. It can be used for construction, decoration and more. One of its common uses nowadays are in our homes. It can be used for flooring and =countertops for aesthetic purposes due to the flecks of crystal. Usage of granite creates a modern and sophisticated feel.

Granite’s durability has made it a popular choice as well. It can last tens of years with proper care. It is also generally stain and scratch resistant if it is properly treated. Resistance to staining and scratches cause granite to be widely used for kitchen countertops and bathroom floor tiles. Its porous feature allows efficient cooling of your room which is useful especially in our hot-weathered country, Singapore.

However, if it is not properly treated, the pores in the granite cause it to easily absorb chemicals or liquids and may cause staining. Granites, although durable, are still sensitive towards harsh chemicals. If it is damaged, it will be a heartache as it is normally more expensive than marble.

Proper Granite Care

How do you care for the granite in your home then?

As granite is porous, it needs to be sealed. Porous materials absorb liquids fast, causing a stain to be left behind. A sealant will fill and penetrate the pores to shut any spaces in the granite. This step will help your granite to extend its lifespan and preserve the appearance of the granite surface. Every 10 years or so, your granite will need a resealing for proper protection.

Other than sealing, granite has to be cleaned regularly. Acidic and alkaline cleaners are not advised to be used, instead a neutral pH cleaner would be the best option to properly maintain your granite surfaces. If any spills happen, be sure to mop or wipe it up immediately unless you want it to seep into your valuable granite countertop or flooring. Another thing to note is when cleaning these stone surfaces, rough materials should not be used as it may scratch the surface.

You can also polish your granite so that it looks as good as new again. Polishing helps to even out your granite surfaces and gives it that gleam that you will truly love.
