Grantie Sealing and Cleaning in Fountain Hills, Arizona

Grantie Sealing and Cleaning in Fountain Hills, Arizona
How long has it been since you had your Granite, Onyx, Travertine, and Marble countertops, floors and showers sealed? Some clients may not know the frequency. If this describes you, you are not alone. It is indeed very important to get your Granite, Onyx, Travertine, and Marble floors and countertops cleaned and sealed.

Here are 3 relevant questions to consider:

1.  WHEN SHOULD YOU SEAL YOUR COUNTERTOPS?
All Granite, Onyx, Travertine and Marble countertops should be professionally cleaned and sealed immediately after installation. Why? 
  • After Granite has been harvested, cut and polished, placed on a container and shipped to the USA, the Granite slab has not been professionally cleaned or sealed. 
  • Once the Granite slab has and unloaded at a local showroom in Arizona, your countertop has never been professionally cleaned. 
  • Coupled this, with countless hands and soil that has come in contact with your Granite slab before selection, the Granite while in the slab state is "never" professionally cleaned and sealed. 
  • Once the Granite slab has been selected and cut into a countertop, it is loaded on the back of a trailer and mounted on the cabinet. The installer sprays a cleaner and may apply a sealer for an additional price. Spraying a cleaner and wiping it up is not professionally cleaning. 

The beautiful Granite countertop needs to be professionally cleaned and sealed to provide a baseline that it has been done.  
  • NEVER allow a new Granite installation to be sealed before professionally cleaning, doing so will only trap-in construction dust and oily substances. 
  • NEVER allow the installer, no matter how friendly, to apply seal before cleaning your countertops. 
  • Hire Stone Care of Arizona, LLC the natural stone care expert to perform the initial service. We do not install, however, we provide natural stone care services.
2.  HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU SEAL YOUR COUNTERTOP?
All Granite, Onyx, Limestone, Travertine and Marble countertops should be professionally cleaned and sealed every 12 to 24 months depending "Lifestyle and usage.” Granite, Onyx, Travertine and Marble countertops with little to no use can go up to 36 months before you should professionally clean and seal Granite. Conversely, Granite, Onyx, Travertine and Marble countertops used heavily should be cleaned and sealed more often. For example, Granite, Onyx, Travertine and Marble countertops installed in kitchens and restrooms should be sealed more frequently. The best indicator to use is the appearance of calcium or soapy buildup. These are indicators that it is time to call Stone Care of Arizona, Arizona stone care expert. When the appearance of the Countertop has become soiled or dull, it is a good time to call us at 480-625-0557. 

3.  HOW LONG WILL THE SEAL WORK?
There has been much debate as to how long a seal will work after it is applied. It is all a matter of was the Granite sealed properly based on it unique porosity. Another deciding factor is what type of cleaner is being used to clean. Powerful alkaline cleaner will degrade the protective barrier. Bottonline, it boils down to the amount of seal initially applied and the quality of the impregnating sealer used. Some countertops may require multiple coats for maximum protection. Too often, unskilled installers or housekeeping service personnel in error are in a hurry will apply a seal incorrectly or will not apply enough. For this reason, leave professional cleaning and sealing to the Stone Care of Arizona, the Arizona stone care professional.
