An investment in natural stone surfaces can provide you with many years of timeless beauty virtually maintenance free. However, certain precautions must take place to safeguard your investment. Additionally, AAI offers an Annual Sealing Service in order to provide greater protection and resistance to stains.

As a courtesy, AAI has provided the following recommendations for caring for your stone:

GENERAL CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS
• Blot up spills immediately
• Clean surfaces with a few drops of neutral cleaner or a mild dishwashing detergent and warm water
• Use a clean rag to avoid streaks
• Avoid using products that contain lemon, vinegar or other acids that may etch the surface
• Rinse the surface thoroughly after washing with the soap solution and dry with a clean, soft cloth
• Avoid using scouring powders or creams that may contain abrasives
GRANITE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS
• Granite surfaces are highly heat resistant, however avoid placing very hot items on any seams
