Granite Care
With proper care, your granite worktops will give you many years service. As with any decorative and functional part of your home, you do need to follow some simple guidelines:
As soon as possible after installation (following advice from your fitter), the granite worktops should be cleaned and protected. We recommend the Lithofin Care Kit, which we supply or you could order the ‘Stain Stop Plus’ on it’s own contact us here.

Lithofin MN Stainstop (available on its own or as part of the Care Kit) should be re-applied every 6 months. Do not place very hot pans directly onto the granite worktop – use a trivet or mat. Take care to wipe up spills, and any acidic foods or liquids should be taken off as soon as possible. Regular cleaning is best done with warm soapy water. Do not use acidic, abrasive or alkali cleaners. Do not drop or hit hard objects against the worktops. Do not chop directly on the worktop – use a chopping board to protect your worktops and your knife.

Granite is one of the most durable natural stone materials available for your home. It has been formed by the cooling of molten magma, giving each piece its own unique characteristics and appearance.
When we prepare your granite worktops for production, we match the various pieces as well as possible, but there will always be minor differences. These are a feature of using natural materials, and can enhance the beauty of your kitchen.

If you take the same care with your granite worktops that you would with other materials in your home, you are unlikely to experience any problems.
