Cleaning and Sealing Grantie Countertops
Granite is the indisputable “king of all countertop surfaces!” Granite’s distinctive appearance can become unappealing when it comes in contact with soil. Soil, surface contamination and overtime the overuse of household cleaners can dull the surface. Whether you have Granite, Onyx, Travertine, and Marble countertops, all Granite, Onyx, Travertine, or Marble countertops should be professionally cleaned and sealed on a regular basis for health reasons. Why should you professionally clean and seal your Granite, Onyx, Travertine, and Marble countertops in Scottsdale, Cave Creek, Carefree, Fountain Hills and Paradise Valley, Arizona?
If you are not the original homeowner, you may be unaware of the high level of contamination that could be trapped on your Granite, Onyx, Travertine or Marble countertops. Too often, homeowners and housekeepers will use a “wipe on and wipe off” cleaning method. In fact, this is the most ineffective way to clean your Granite.
To illustrate, in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and Cave Creek, Arizona most Granite installed came from very dirty environments and are installed under unsanitary circumstances. Once installed, Granite countertops are oftentimes cleaned by the installers with sweaty hands and wiped with filthy rags. Even, when Granite, Onyx, Travertine or Marble countertops are cleaned by homeowners and housekeepers, they sometimes clean with improper cleaners that only exacerbate the situation. Granite has a variant degree of absorbent micro-pores. This is the case with countertops such as Granite, Onyx, Travertine, Quartzite, Limestone, and Marble.
Why should you professionally clean your Granite countertops in Scottsdale, Arizona?
HERE ARE TWO CHARACTERISTICS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION:
1. POROSITY
The size of the absorptive micro-pores and other factors determine the natural stone’s porosity. Porosity is the ratio equation as the amount of air found between the micro-pores of a stone. Stone Care of Arizona, the Arizona stone care experts address porosity be doing a "porosity test."
2. PERMEABILITY
Permeability, on the other hand, is the measurement of how easy it is for liquids (water) to flow through the stone. The Porosity of any particular stone is created during the rock formation. When a stone cools slowly the porosity will more than likely be high. If a stone cools quickly, then the porosity will more than likely lower.
Simply explained, liquids and unwanted contamination will in time become trapped creating a breeding ground of germs. When countertops are used for food preparation overtime viruses and bacteria can become chemically resistant to household cleaners.

Your olfactores is the first line of defense to alert you that you have a surface contamination.If you are a do-it-yourself type, Stone Care of Arizona, pinned an informative article on how to clean Granite, Onyx, Travertine, Quartz, Limestone, and Marble countertops.
