I received the product today and sealed my granite countertops. Oh my goodness, this product is amazing! I purchased a bathroom vanity with a granite countertop and assumed it was sealed. It clearly was not because it was showing water stains when it got wet. I applied this product this evening and it is absolutely gorgeous. I can tell by rubbing my hand over it that it is now sealed. I highly recommend this product because I know that it works.

Does it make the granite countertops shine? We bought a house and renovated it ourselves. We bought granite countertops for the kitchen and it's my first time having granite countertops. I mistakenly thought that the granite was sealed when it was installed because we were never told differently but I notice that when water gets on it the stone darkens. We also noticed a coffee stain on part of our countertop and knew then that it was not sealed. Luckily I was able to get the coffee stain off with a baking powder paste. I'm looking for a product that will seal & shine my countertops.

Fumes are pretty potent. Would be good to mention that and the safety material.

So IF the water does seep in and "stains" it, what can be done?

The bottle directions are different. It says to leave for 5 min. I left for 15 thinking I was covered. And ended up staining my new countertops today with butter. Maddening. I just happened to come across this video looking for a different sealer and realized this is the one I got from Home Depot, but the directions on the bottle are different than those specified here.

Can you damage your counter tops by over sealing. Ie 3 or 4+ times a year? My wife is a baker/canner and uses her counter tops ALOT!

@tombutcher5776 2 жыл бұрын

My installer said to seal once a year.

Really helpful video, thank you. Are the stone cleaner and sealer products ok to use on leathered granite worktops?

@StoneCareInternational 9 ай бұрын

We would not use any of our products on leathered granite worktops. We suggest that you reach out to the manufacturer of your surface as to their cleaning and care recommendations.

I have used you product several times now. BUT my counters seem to not to have been sealed well when new. Even after sealing as instructed with your product they are still porous and does not feel or look glass smooth. Other then having a pro come into my home can you help me achieve the desired effect I am needing? Thank you for your help

Wondering about a granite sink. Never had one. Hear they require sealing regularly. Also wondering about potential for mold growth. As the granite is porous. But with a black sink any mold growth will be hard to see. Thoughts?

@johnd9357 3 жыл бұрын

Granite will not grow mold. There are no spores in the stone. Any mold that might grow due to some foreign material would just wipe right off the surface.

I'm curious why the directions here are different than what's on the bottle. Mine says nothing about waiting 30 minutes for a second coat. Even so, I'm going to follow these instructions because it sounds like the more thorough approach.

I followed your directions using 2 coats to seal my granite. Checked it a week later and tested to see if the water absorbed and it did. So do I need to seal again?

@StoneCareInternational 10 ай бұрын

Yes, we would recommend sealing again. You can also contact the manufacturer of your stone as to their cleaning and care recommendations.

Can you seal granite to where it can actually hold water for extended periods of time? I'm looking for a material that holds heat well to serve as a base for a simulated river.

@@StoneCareInternational Fair answer. Can you recommend alternatives? Furthermore, how would unsealed granite be in a high-humidity environment, specifically near a source of mist/fog?

At a certain angle, can see what looks like a clear 'plastic' liner on top of granite? What is that?

There is no plastic on the countertop, it is just the shine from the polished granite.

Doctor please. The real good sealants come in a larger container that you pour on and spread lightly with small paint roller and would need to wear a mask and gloves due to the strong smell.

@StoneCareInternational 5 жыл бұрын

Most stones are porous meaning they will absorb water, but using a sealer once or twice a year will help to protect the counter top so that the water won't immediately soak in and you'll have time to wipe it up.

What do you do when you'r granite feels ruff to the touch?

@winston7556 5 жыл бұрын

Means there are deposits on the granite that need to be cleaned. Might be hard water deposits if it's near the sink or on a counter that gets wet, but could be anything. Single edge razor blade can be used to get those off and get the granite smooth. The granite needs to be completely clean for the sealer to work. Don't worry about scratching the granite, if the razor is flat to the surface of the granite, the granite will not scratch. Granite is extremely durable and strong. There are videos on youtube. if you have a lot of those "rough" areas, you're granite is going to look so rejuvenated once cleaned and sealed.
