Granite, Marble, and Stone Countertops
Stone and granite in particular is an excellent if somewhat expensive choice for countertops. Granite is an outstanding choice because maintenance is simple, and consists of a little more than wiping with a damp cloth and drying with a towel to prevent water spots. Use a mixture of mild dishwasher and warm water to clean stone countertops. Make sure that you don’t use lemon, vinegar or other acids and use a cloth or paper towel to clean the countertop.
Marble is a fine material that is timeless in its beauty. If your budget doesn’t have room for an expensive material like marble, you can choose cultured marble which is an acrylic material that resembles real marble. It is less expensive than real marble, and is easier to care for as it is not porous and does not have to be sealed. Make sure that you don’t use abrasive cleaners that will scratch the surface. Use mild cleansers directly onto the wet surface. Rinse well and buff with a soft cloth.
Other materials include soapstone and slate. Soapstone offers the greatest resistance to stains and spills. It’s a commonly used material in laboratories where spills are the order of the day. It can also take heavy duty traffic with ease. If you’re looking for a countertop professional in the Honolulu area, we can help you get in touch with the best people in the industry.
