Sealing your natural stone is essential for several compelling reasons:
Preservation
The primary purpose of sealing stone is to preserve its appearance and longevity.. By applying an industry-standard, stone-specific impregnating sealer, you prevent oil, water, and other contaminants from leaving behind mineral deposits that can make your natural stone surfaces look cloudy or dull.
Stain Prevention
Just like a liquid-resistant protector on fabric, sealing causes liquids spilled on your countertop to bead up instead of being absorbed into the stone. This prevents surface stains and keeps your stone looking pristine.
Easy Cleaning
Sealed stone surfaces are easier to clean. Dirt, liquids, crumbs, and grease can be wiped away easily, reducing overall cleaning effort.
Safer Cleaning
Sealing not only makes cleaning easier but also allows you to avoid harsh chemicals. Because messes wipe away easily after sealing, it’s better for your family and the environment.
Less Etching
Etching occurs when acidic foods react with natural stone surfaces (such as marble, granite, or quartz).Sealing helps prevent these dull spots caused by acid exposure.
In summary, sealing your natural stone enhances its performance, protects against stains, and ensures its beauty endures for years to come.
