Maintain and Protect Your Granite Countertop

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Atlanta, Georgia, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) October 11, 2010 -- Maintain and Protect Your Granite Countertop

A few weeks ago, I looked for information about granite countertops and decided to stop in at PDP Atlanta Granite Countertops . While speaking with the associates there, I learned a lot about maintaining and protecting granite countertops and want to share a few tips with you.

Granite countertops are decorative and add pizzazz to any kitchen. Although granite is among the hardest of all natural stone materials and highly resistant to stains, scratches and heat, it is porous. By cleaning your granite countertop regularly and using a sealer occasionally, you can enjoy a lasting shine and beautiful countertop.

Things happen and spills occur. To maintain and protect your granite countertop, here are some suggestions:

- dust once or twice a week and wipe periodically with warm water and drops of a pH-neutral cleaner
- avoid soap, detergent, all-purpose citrus cleaners or dusting sprays
- apply a sealer when water no longer beads on the granite surface to create a barrier between the granite and spills

Joe Brennen, CEO of PDP, explains, “With a proper seal coating on granite and with proper care, granite will last for many years without scratching, staining, chipping, or wearing away. If properly cared for, granite may not need to be resealed every year.”

If you notice a stain, such as wine, colored fruit juices or felt tip marker, avoid cleaners with an acidic base such as bleach, I recommend that you call PDP at 678-721-0100. You can also submit a request at their website www.granitecountertopsinatlanta.com to receive free tips!

Because purchasing granite countertops from PDP is a sound investment in my home’s equity, it is important to maintain and protect the natural beauty of the granite.

PDP associates care and are available to you before, during and after installation of your granite countertop.
