Maintaining Your Ottawa Granite – Worth It

When you are looking to seal your Ottawa graniote countertops or any other material, make sure you stop by our showroom for tips and sealants. Our showrooms serve Ottawa, West Ottawa, Carp, Kanata, Stittsville, West Carleton, Dunrobin, and Arnprior.

The best way to ensure your Ottawa granite and other tops last long is by biting the bullet and doing the work with regular maintenance. Sealing granite isn’t hard – it isn’t even that much of a hassle as Ottawa granite only needs to be sealed about once a year.

If you use your kitchen more than me (maybe I could do more cooking, but I don’t), your Ottawa Granite may need to be sealed more often.  How do you know when your Ottawa granite needs sealed?  Think of how water beads up on a freshly waxed car – it is the same with Ottawa granite. You will be able to tell when water splashed on it doesn’t bead up anymore.

Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on granite kitchen counter tops – Ottawa granite requires regular water cleaning daily and specialty sealants available at TNT.
