Care & Maintenance

Natural stone is very porous. Granite Certified by DuPont is treated with DuPont Proprietary Penetrating Sealant that fills in the natural pores to help repel spills on the surface. We recommend that you use care and maintenance products from StoneTech™ Professional, a DuPont company, that are specially formulated to protect and enhance the beauty of your granite. Since your stone is sealed, clean up is usually easy. We recommend that you use StoneTech™ Professional Revitalizer™ Cleaner & Protector . Revitalizer™ cleans with a gentle, ph-neutral formula that removes soils while reinforcing the original protective seal to help prevent future staining. Learn more about our care products.
