If you have granite countertops...

... what do you use to seal them? The house we bought has granite in the kitchen and it's in need of a seal. What do you use and is it easy enough I can do it myself?

Thanks!

Re: If you have granite countertops...

  • I don't have an answer but I have a suggestion.  Make sure you (or whoever does it) uses enough.  We had a light, sandish color granite at our old apartment.  It would stain so easily!  When we moved out we had a water stain and a stain from our liquid soap dispenser.  We always wiped things up as soon as we noticed but it would happen quickly.  I've been told by a few people that it happened because it wasn't sealed properly.

  • I have a bottle I can give you, if you want.  I bought this 3-piece set at Lowe's when it was on super clearance bc they were rebranding/ repackaging the product.  At the time I didn't know if our counters needed to be sealed, but at such a great deal I didn't want to pass up the cleaners that came with it.  Since then, the counter installers for our house said don't seal it for five years.

    Let me know if you're interested.

  • we also go some granite cleaner from lowe's and saw other granite specific products in the countertop/cabinet section...did they say yours still needs to be sealed?  I also thought it was only every 5 years or so.
