How do I know if the sealant on my countertops is damaged?
Ordinary household cleaners remove the stone's protective sealer and damages the stone's surface. To test the seal on your natural stone countertops, perform this simple test: place a small amount of water on your natural stone countertop and allow to sit for 20-30 minutes, then wipe away. If the water leaves a darkened spot on the stone, you need to use Granite Gold Sealer to reseal your natural stone countertop. Granite Gold Sealer should be used once or twice a year, depending on what type of stone. For example, lighter-colored granites should be sealed twice a year compared to once a year for darker-colored granites, which are less porous.
