A huge percentage of American homes have granite countertops installed in the kitchen – and for good reason, too. Granite is one of the strongest rocks on earth, and it’s virtually indestructible, allowing homeowners to save big bucks on what could have been costly repairs, replacement, or regular maintenance for substandard countertop materials. This being said, though, thorough cleaning and sealing is still necessary for granite countertops in St. Louis homes.

Unclutter

Before starting with your sealing project, you should first make sure that the entire granite surface that needs moisture protection is free of clutter that might impede the sealing process. This means you should seal it on a day and time when the kitchen won’t be in use too much, since after uncluttering, you will also have to clean the surface thoroughly and let it dry at least overnight.
