Care & Cleaning:
For everyday cleaning use of a neutral cleaner, such as mild liquid dishwashing soap, and warm water is recommended. Rinse with clean water after washing with the soap solution and dry countertops with a soft clean cloth. For more intense cleaning, Rockfab carries a line of products specifically for cleaning and disinfecting stone countertops. In case of any spills, blot up promptly instead of wiping the area, as it will spread the spill. Never use abrasive cleaners with pumice or heavy duty steel wool pads to clean the countertops.

Sealing:
Rockfab uses a silicon-based impregnating sealer during the fabrication process which should provide sealing for many years. This sealer will help prevent excess moisture and other materials from seeping into the countertops. You should always avoid placing highly acidic or fatty foods directly on the countertops. Over a period of time the sealer will break down, and your natural stone will have to be resealed. As a general rule, if moisture on the surface of the stone wipes away easily or disappears within a couple of minutes, you are still sealed. If the moisture is absorbed into the stone and is still visible after several minutes it is time to reseal. Rockfab sells a spray sealer that is very easy to apply as a do-it-yourself project. In the unlikely event your countertop becomes stained or discolored please contact Rockfab for a list of approved stain removal methods.

Scratch & Heat Protection:
Granite is a solid state countertop material that is extremely durable and is highly resistant to heat and scratching. Like all countertop materials, under extreme circumstances it may be possible to damage your countertop. Therefore Rockfab recommends the use of protective devices such as potholders, trivets and cutting boards.
