Common Questions

Cut

To ensure the longevity of your countertop, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and adopt some care and maintenance practices.

Daily Care:

Clean the countertop regularly with a mild soap and water to remove dirt and stains. Natural stones should be washed regularly with warm water and a clean, non-abrasive cloth.

Use a soft sponge or dishcloth with warm water.

For difficult or greasy cleaning, use a neutral detergent with warm water. Adding a neutral (pH balanced) cleanser will help remove dirt and stains

Avoid:

The use of abrasive or acidic products

Placing hot pans directly on the countertop as this may cause permanent damage.

“Soft scrubbing” products or harsh/acidic chemicals on any stone can scratch or dull the polished finish. This includes substances like ammonia or many common liquid cleaners.

Use:

Pot holders or supports to protect the surface of the countertop.

Treat stains as quickly as possible to prevent them from setting in.

After cleaning, dry the surface with a clean, dry cloth to avoid water stains.

By following these tips and instructions, you will be able to clean natural stones that will look great for years to come.

Yes, granite, quartzite, and quartz countertops are generally stain and scratch resistant.

Granite is known for being a natural stone that is scratch and stain resistant, while quartz and quartzite are synthetic stones that are even more stain and scratch resistant.

However, it is important to remember that resistance can vary depending on the type of stone and the chosen finish. Additionally, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the longevity of your countertop.

Myth. It’s no easier to match cabinets and flooring to a countertop than vice versa.

Both combinations can be made successfully, as long as we consider factors such as: the proportion between the colors of the materials, the style of the kitchen, the texture and finish of the materials, among others.

The important thing is to choose materials that complement each other and create visual harmony in the kitchen.
