What a beautiful granite kitchens!

I visited an interesting showroom about granite and marble last year. I was impressed by beautiful worktops and reflected upon their functionality in the kitchen.
Granite Worktops are durable and simple to keep clean and are available in many colours and styles. Marble worktops and counter top furniture are becoming more popular as luxurious bathroom furniture and more recently for luxury sunroom furniture, swimming pool furniture and conservatories.
Recently, marble has been rediscovered as a luxury stone surface for tables and benches. I gathered info about how granite worktops, for example for kitchens, can be kept clean.
The clean-kit contains products that will allow you to clean, protect and maintain all polished marble and granite work surfaces with minimum effort: detergent, anti-stain protection treatment, stone cream.

Neutral detergent is ideal for pre-clean preparation and for periodic cleaning of worktops and vanity tops. It must be applied on the surface and cleaned using a sponge or cloth. Once the surface is clean, it is important to rinse with clean water all excess residue dirt/detergent. Anti-stain protection protects marble or granite surfaces from absorbing any water or oil based substances, but are not resistant to the effects of acid based substances, such as lemon, wine, vinegar, cola etc. It must be applied to previously cleaned and dried surface using a cloth and left to dry for approximately 5 to 6 hours then removed.

The stone cream must be used when it is necessary to clean a residue of oil, grease or various liquid residues/dirt and generally enhance the shine of your granite or marble surface. It must be spread in circular movements until you have removed the dirt/residues. After a few minutes using the clean side of the cloth and again using circular movements proceed to polish the surface of your marble or granite to your satisfaction. Use rubber gloves to avoid any possible irritations to your skin. I've bought a new beautiful granite kitchen and now I know how to keep it clean. Follow my advice!

Durability is probably the biggest advantage of granite worktops, they are also water resistant, very easy to clean and they can withstand high temperatures...furthermore, they could better protect the countertop from absorbing liquids and developing stains, they are also expensive and require sealing!
