Utah Granite Countertops are considered by many to be the best countertops in the market. Granite countertops offer extreme durability, unparalleled natural beauty, and usability options that meet or exceed most other types of countertops. Granite countertops are beautiful and they only take a small of amount of special care to maintain.

Utah countertops are known for their toughness. With this fact in mind, there are a few basic tips to help take care of these types of counters.
They include:

1- Don't drop heavy items on them. Although granite is known for its toughness, it can still be chipped and broken, especially if something heavy is dropped on it.  Use caution when placing heavy objects on granite counters or if you're lifting heavy items over them.

2- Don't stand on them. Again, granite is strong, but it's not indestructible. Do not stand on granite countertops, especially near overhangs or the granite strip at the front of your sink or cooktop. The weight may simply be too much for the granite to support and it may break or crack.

3- Don't cut anything directly on them. Utah countertops are extremely hard surfaces and very resistant to scratching.  Cutting on your granite tops will not damage the granite, but it will dull your knives.  We recommend the use of a cutting board to protect your knives.

4- Do not place extremely hot pots on them. Granite countertops are very heat resistant and unlikely to burn, scorch or crack. However, thermal shock or cracks may occur if the countertop is subjected to extreme temperature changes. It is recommended that you protect your countertop from extreme heat by using trivets or hot pads.

Cleaning Granite Countertops
To keep granite countertops looking beautiful, they should be cleaned on a daily basis. Here are a few tips for keeping your counters looking like new: 

• Clean up. We suggest that you wipe down your utah countertops with a little dish soap and water (3 drops to a sink of warm water) followed by a clear water rinse.  Dry the top after cleaning with a soft rag.  This helps keep surface dirt and dust away, and also helps keep your counters looking spotless. Don't wait too long to clean up spills. With some granites if you wait too long, the spill may soak into the granite and you may need a special cleanser to remove it.  Never use abrasive cleaners such as Soft Scrub.  Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners such as 409 or Fantastic.  Be careful with cleaners that contain alcohol, or those that dry faster than you can wipe them off.  They will often cause a buildup that can make your granite countertops look dull. 

• Buff it. If streaking has occurred, it may be helpful for your counters to be buffed.  Use an ordinary terry cloth towel to accomplish this.

• Polish. Keep your Utah countertops looking bright and new with stone polish.  It's designed specifically for granite countertops and will help prevent any staining.

• Seal the surface. Granite countertops are usually sealed when they are installed, but remember that a new application is recommended every few years. Professionals can be hired to accomplish this task or you can seal your granite countertops yourself, just give us a call and we'll tell you how!

Maintenance. Utah Granite countertops require almost no maintenance. They should remain just as beautiful as the day they were installed with minimal upkeep.  Remember it is a natural stone material, made by Mother Nature, and part of its beauty is that every piece is different. Each piece has its own personality and natural qualities.
