Stone Care
Guidelines
Daily Cleaning:
We recommend Ivory Dish Soap only because it is made without animal fats and is free of dyes. Many other brands contain fats, dyes and scents which may damage some stones. Glass cleaners may cause permanent streaking. Detergents can be abrasive. Some stone cleaners have a petroleum or animal fat base which may alter the appearance of your stone.
Sealing:
Every countertop that we install is pre-sealed at our facility or immediately after installation. We recommend re-sealing your countertops whenever you start to see water stains stay in the stone for a few minutes after you wipe the surface water off. It is easy and inexpensive to re-seal your countertops. Your stone has been sealed with the following sealers and we recommend and sell these
sealers at our office.
Dark Granites:
Miracle Sealants 511 Impregnator
Light Granites, Marbles and Limestones:
Miracle Sealants 511 Porous Plus
If you prefer, we can re-seal your counters and repair any chips for a set fee of $250. Please contact:
Conor Williams (262) 522.6335,
Mick Kohl (262) 522.6347 or
Trevor Morris (262) 522.6317 to schedule.
Special Care for Marble and Limestone:
Please note that no sealer is 100 percent effective in preventing acid from etching marbles, limestones or other calcium carbonate based stones. For this reason it is necessary to clean up spills on these stones as quickly as possible. The same is not true of granites.
Special Care for Quartz Surface Material and
Caesar Stone:
Do not seal Caesar Stone. Visit the care section for the Caesar Stone Website and follow their recommended care instructions.
Special Care for Zodiaq®:
To maintain the beauty of Zodiaq®, do not place hot skillets or roasting pans directly onto the surface. DuPont Zodiaq® recommends the use of trivets or hot pads.
Special Care for HanStone™:
Simply clean HanStone™ with soap and water on a regular basis to keep the lustrous gloss and radiant sheen.
Special Care for Silestone®:
With the unique combination of built-in Microban protection, National Sanitation Foundation Certification and GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certification, Silestone Quartz is easier to clean and keep cleaner.
