Helping you make a decision about Granite Worktops

If you are thinking about installing granite worktops in your kitchen and want to learn more about them, this is the article for you. We will discuss why granite worktops are considered to be one of the best types of worktop on the market, looking in detail at granites functionality and appeal.

Having read the information in this article you should be in a better position to decide whether a granite worktops is suitable for your home or whether you might be better advised to go for one of the many other worktop options available.

Even though granite kitchen worktops can be expensive, they are also incredibly popular. We will start by investigating the factors and attributes possessed by granite that contributes to their popularity.

Firstly, granite is incredibly hard. It is an igneous rock formed from cooling magma. As a result, it is difficult to scratch and chip. A granite countertop can withstand hot pans and dishes being placed directly on it and it should, if cared for correctly, last a lifetime.

Secondly, granite is very visually appealing. Granite contains a mixture of different constituents (including quartz, mica and feldspar). However, the appearance of granite differs according to the particular quarry the stone has been extracted from. Different geographical locations lead to different geological conditions. Therefore, the appearance of granite differs from quarry to quarry. From a potential purchaser�s point of view, this means that every piece of granite is unique. It also means that granite is available in a wide range of colours and patterns.

Thirdly, a granite worktop will look stunning in either a modern kitchen or a more traditional design. Granite countertops can either be used to complement other kitchen design elements or to form the room�s centrepiece. Black granite is particulalry popular at the moment. Granite is very versatile.

Fourthly, because it is a stone worktop, a granite surface is very cool. This is of particular importance to those who make bread, cakes and pastry.

Fifthly, a granite kitchen worktop will not harbour germs or bacteria. It is easy to wipe clean and a recent study has discovered that it is almost as hygienic as a stainless steel (used in professional kitchens). It is clear that granite worktops have a lot of positive attributes, but there are also some negative aspects which warrant further discussion. There is no getting away from it � granite is an expensive material. There are many other types of kitchen worktops which represent a cheaper alternative. In addition, due to the weight of the stone, the installation of a granite kitchen countertop may mean that your existing kitchen units need strengthening. This could also add to the cost of your granite worktop. Granite requires sealing as it is a pourous material and without sealing can stain.

Granite is very hard and tough, but it is susceptible to staining when certain liquids are left on the surface. Acidic substances, such as vinegar, alcohol, lemon juice and window cleaners, will leave marks on the granite that are incredibly difficult (and sometimes impossible) to remove. To guard against this, spills should be wiped up rapidly and the granite surface should be sealed properly in accordance with the installers guidelines.

How to Clean Granite Worktops

With the proper care, your marble or granite worktop will stay new-looking for years. Stone is one of the easiest surfaces to maintain. And granite, being 7 on the Mohs hardness scale of 1 to 10, is virtually unscratchable. (A stainless steel knife blade is a 6 on the scale.)

Blot up spills immediately, before they penetrate the granite surface.

Clean granite worktops with a few drops of neutral cleaner, stone soap (available in hardware stores or from a stone dealer), or mild dishwashing liquid and warm water.

Use a soft, clean cloth to clean the granite worktop. Rinse after washing with the soap solution and dry with a soft, clean cloth.

Remove a stain on worktop, basing the method on the type of stain. Mix a cup of flour, 1-2 tablespoons of dishwashing liquid with water to make a thick paste. Put it on the stain, cover with plastic wrap, and let it sit overnight.

Scrape away the mixture with a wooden utensil and rinse. If the stain is oil-based (e.g. grease, oil, milk), use hydrogen peroxide in the paste instead of dishwashing liquid - or try ammonia on it.

Try a mixture of 12 percent hydrogen peroxide mixed with a couple drops of ammonia for an organic stain (e.g. coffee, tea, fruit).

Use a lacquer thinner or acetone to remove ink or marker stains from darker stone. On light-colored granite worktops, use hydrogen peroxide to remove these stains. This also works for wine stains.

Mix molding plaster and pure bleach into a paste and spread over a wine, ink or other non-oil stain. Leave on for 30 minutes, then remove and rinse.

Paste a mix of molding plaster and water over an oil-based or fat-based stain. Mold it into a bird's-nest shape and allow to stand for 3 hours. Remove and rinse.

Reseal the worktops every year or two years. Check with the installer for recommendations. Use a non-toxic sealer on food preparation areas.

Consider using a new disinfectant cleaner made specifically for granite.

Call your professional stone supplier, installer, or restoration specialist for problems that appear too difficult to treat.

Keeping your Granite Worktops in Pristine Condition

Ask a professional to remove or repair a scratch in granite.

Use coasters under all glasses, particularly those containing alcohol or citrus juices. Many common foods and drinks contain acids that will etch or dull the worktop surface.

Don'ts for Granite Worktops

Do not place hot items directly on the stone surface. Use trivets or mats under hot dishes and placemats under china, ceramics, silver or other objects that could scratch the granite surface.

Do not use products that contain lemon, vinegar or other acids on marble or limestone. Strong detergents or corrosive liquids can dull the polished marble/granite surface and should not be used.

Don't use abrasive cleaners such as dry cleansers, scouring powders, or 'soft' cleansers.

Do not mix cleaning products such as ammonia and bleach together - the result is toxic.
