What is granite sealer and
how does it work?

Granite sealer, better known as penetrating sealer or granite impregnator is a liquid that contains solid sealer particles. The liquid is applied to the surface and allowed to penetrate into the pores of the granite surface. If allowed to dwell for the proper time, agitated, and then removed, the solid sealer particle is left in the stone. The sealer will then act as a repellent for water and oil-based liquids.

Caring for your granite in Valley View, TX

1

Granite is a hard stone but is still porous. Lighter-colored granites such as tans and whites can be very porous. It’s important to properly and frequently seal these granite surfaces to prevent stains.

2

Stains that occur on your granite counters can be removed in most cases with a poultice. A poultice is a cream that when applied to the stained area for some time can lighten or remove even deep-seated stains. It takes seven to ten days for a poultice to do its job. The cream is applied and about a quarter inch thick and covered with plastic for three days. The plastic is then removed without disturbing the cream and allowed to dry completely. This can take up to a week. Once the surface is dry the powder is then removed and the poultice is reapplied if necessary if the stain is not fully removed. Poulticing is not always 100% successful but it is the best way to remove stains from your granite.

3

Granite showers should be squeegeed after every use or at least as often as possible to prevent minerals from your water from bonding to the surface. If sqeegeeing is not done religiously your granite counters may need to be restored. Call Sureshine today to have your granite shower inspected.

4

The edges of your granite counters around your sink can get chipped or damaged when you’re doing the dishes or working around your sink. We highly recommend using protective measures by covering your sink rail with a towel or a rubber mat. Chips in your counters around your sink are among the most common repair requests.
