Should I seal my granite countertops? That is a very common question to which the answer is yes. Here is the answer why. Granite and quartz are porous, which means that they have very small holes which “stuff” settles into. Some stuff like vegetable oil or flower can settle into the pores and can be removed quite easily with a high quality cleaner like Marblelife Granite & Quartz Countertop Cleaner. However the other stuff like coffee, red wine, makeup, red sports drink, bar-b-Que sauce and alike can stain granite and quartz. Some stains can be very difficult to remove while others more easily. Some granite is denser and less likely to stain while others are more porous and therefore more likely to stain. Lighter granite is even more likely to stain.

Some granite may have been sealed from the fabricator that cut and polished it. The installer may have applied a sealer or the previous homeowner. What sealer was used? Was it applied properly? What stage of wearing off is the sealer in? How susceptible is your granite to stains? These are at times difficult if not impossible questions to answer. For this reason it is recommended across the board to apply a sealer to your granite or quartz. It’s not expensive, it’s easy and it may save you a difficult, frustrating and even costly process of removing a stain. Click here to read more.
