The First Lesson

When it comes to cleaning bathroom vanity tops in Boston made of granite, correct knowledge is always key. Beware of all the conflicting advice about granite care floating around out there. Some is spot on. Some is dead wrong. Most errors in advice or solutions are due to over-generalization, a lack of understanding, and/or misinterpretation of correct methods.
To put it simply, it is easy to get confused, frustrated, and worried that you are going to accidentally ruin your countertops. What is worse, you start to experiment with some method that you should not even do in the first place. Remember that your vanity tops are made of natural stone. You must be confident that they are very durable, resilient, and can age beautifully. And that is because they can. While it holds true that granite can be damaged, but it does not mean you cannot avoid or prevent it from happening.
Treating Spills
Some, if not all, spills will turn out to be detrimental to stone if unattended. Orange juice, lemonade, wine, vinegar, liquors, tomato sauce, yogurt, salad dressing, perfume, after shave, the wrong cleaning products and so on, through a long list, most likely will not damage your Boston granite vanity tops. Unfortunately, though, all of these will etch.
So, to prevent this unpleasant outcome from happening, keep in mind of the follow:
- Do not rub the spill but only blot it.
- Do not use cleaning products on or near your vanity top unless the label specifies that it is safe on natural stone. This includes glass cleaner to clean the mirror or a liquid toilet bowl cleaner.
- Make sure to pick up any spills as quickly as possible.
Sealing Granite

As a general rule, an impregnating sealer should be applied to all natural stone. The only catch is that many people misinterpret “general rule” to
mean that absolutely every stone vanity top MUST be sealed and often. Well, this is not exactly true. Many types of granite do not actually need sealing, but confusion still abounds regarding this key granite care issue. It is not difficult but it can be messed up with the wrong instruction. Your best course of action is to directly ask the fabricator or the company where you bought your granite in the first place. They have expert knowledge in understanding the necessity of applying sealant, so make sure to do this.
