Sarah Aguirre states, “It’s a common misconception that granite countertops are effortless. In reality, granite requires regular maintenance to keep it looking beautiful.” For basic cleaning use microfiber cloths to dust off the surface and never apply harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. The application of harsh chemicals can scratch, pit, and etch the surface of the stone permanently. If the stain won’t come off through basic cleaning call Triple D’s Cleaning Service at 910-273-3661.
