Care and Maintenance

Daily Cleaning

Most granites with a polished face will retain their polish for a great many years and the only maintenance required is regular washing with clean, hot soapy water to remove surface dirt.

Stains

Granite worktops for use in kitchens have been sealed to help protect against most normal everyday stains.  However, spillage's such as wines, oils and acidic substances (eg vinegar) should be wiped clean immediately to prevent staining.

Whitehall offers a care and maintenance kit and would strongly recommend that one be purchased with every worktop.

Heat Resistance

Granite is highly heat resistant and hot pans can be placed directly on to the surface for short periods, however Whitehall recommends the use of a trivet instead.

Scratching

As with any high quality worksurface care should be taken.  The use of a chopping board is recommended.
