About Slabs & Countertops Care & Maintenance
Fortunately, most countertops require little effort to keep them looking and performing their best. Regularly clean your countertops with a mild cleaner recommended for your specific material. Wipe up seals promptly to prevent stains and avoid using harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubbers, which can damage the surface. Using cutting boards and trivets will help protect your countertops from scratches and heat. Some natural stone materials may require periodic resealing to help it repel liquids and resist stains effectively. At The Floor Store, we will work with you to make sure you know how to properly care for your new countertops.
Natural stone countertops, such as granite and marble, typically require regular resealing. These materials are porous, meaning they can absorb liquids, which makes them susceptible to staining. Resealing creates a protective barrier on the surface, helping to prevent liquids from penetrating and staining the stone. The frequency of resealing depends on factors like the type of stone, its porosity, and how heavily it's used. It's essential to follow the recommendations of your countertop for the specific care and maintenance requirements of the material you have chosen. Other countertop materials, like quartz and solid surface, generally do not require resealing due to their non-porous nature.
The need for polishing varies depending on the countertop material. Natural stone countertops, such as granite and marble, may benefit from polishing once every five to 15 years to enhance their shine and luster. However, not all natural stone countertops require regular polishing. Quartz countertops and solid surface materials, on the other hand, do not require polishing. These engineered materials are designed to maintain their polished appearance without additional treatments.
The approach depends on the material when dealing with stubborn stains on your countertop. For granite or natural stone countertops, a mixture of mild dish soap and warm water can be used, while quartz countertops require a non-abrasive cleaner designed for the surface. Laminate countertops respond well to a gentle solution of dish soap and water, and solid surface countertops can be cleaned with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Following the manufacturer's recommendations for your specific countertop material is important to avoid damage.
To prevent scratches, use cutting boards and avoid dragging heavy or sharp objects across the surface. For added protection, consider placing trivets or hot pads under hot cookware to prevent heat damage. Regular maintenance and gentle care ensure your countertops stay looking their best.

At The Floor Store, we have always been committed to maintaining the highest standards of safety for both our customers and employees.
In light of the increasing concerns regarding the risks silica dust poses to workers during the fabrication of quartz and quartzite countertops, we have decided to go beyond current California regulations and discontinue the sale of these products entirely.
While our customers and employees are not directly affected, we’re taking this step to protect everyone involved. Silica dust is a known cause of silicosis, and despite implementing protective measures, we believe the best course of action is to eliminate this risk altogether.
We understand that countertops are an essential part of any remodel, and our staff is here to guide you toward safer, equally beautiful alternatives. Thank you for trusting us as your Bay Area Flooring Authority.
