- Use coasters for your drinks: Most people take a drink from their can, bottle, or class, and put their drink back down. This can damage the countertop. Be sure to use coasters to help protect the surface as much as possible.
- Clean the countertops using a soft cloth or sponge: You don’t want to use rough cleaning materials to clean the countertop. Also, don’t use dish soap repeatedly. It can dull the shine of the granite countertop.
- Use hot pads under pots or pans: While rare, putting a hot pot or pan on the granite countertop can cause thermal shock and result in a crack in the countertop. Use a hot pad or trivet to help protect the countertop.
