Granite - Care & Maintenance:

Granite worksurfaces care & maintenance guide

-All our stone surfaces are sealed to provide a protective coating, which reduces the porosity of the natural surface.

-Granite is not difficult to clean - mild soap and water is all that is generally required. Work surfaces should be cleaned using a neutral detergent, rinsed with clean water and buffed dry using a soft clean cloth.

-For a long lasting finish granite should be treated at regular intervals. Our care kit contains all the products necessary for protecting your granite (professional waterproofing oil, cleaning fluid & wax).

To obtain a kit please contact our sales team on 061 301666 or email us sales@livingstone.ie

-Never use abrasive cleaning products such as metal pads and scouring detergents on granite as these can affect the finish over time. Also avoid alkaline and chlorine based cleaners and do not use bleach. Granite is easily maintained without the need for such abrasive cleaners.

-Drainage flutes can be cleaned using wire wool and wax.

-Please be aware that any acidic products i.e. citrus liquids, fizzy drinks, wine, vinegars etc will leave marks on the surfaces so must be wiped immediately. Strongly coloured foods, i.e. curry, saffron, beetroot, red wine, blackcurrant etc can cause staining so should be cleaned up immediately.

-Do not expose granite to excessive heat, it is best to have a trivet or similar to place your pans on when taken directly from the hob.

-As with any high quality worktops, care should be taken against possible scoring with knives or other cutting tools and chopping-boards should always be used.

Thank you for choosing Livingstone, we hope our products provide you with a lifetime of enjoyment!
