Granite is porous. A high-quality impregnating sealer fills these pores. Frequency depends on usage and the sealer used, typically every 1-3 years. Test by dripping water; if it darkens the stone after 10-15 minutes, it\u2019s time to reseal. Always use the\u00a0<strong>best cleaner for granite countertops<\/strong>\u00a0(pH-neutral) to maintain the seal.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Granite vs. Quartz: Which is better?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>V:<\/strong>\u00a0Both are excellent, serving different priorities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>Granite:<\/strong>\u00a0Offers 100% unique natural patterns, superior\u00a0<strong>h\u0151\u00e1ll\u00f3s\u00e1ga<\/strong>\u00a0(can place hot pans directly), and often a higher perceived value as natural stone.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>Quartz:<\/strong>\u00a0Non-porous (never needs sealing), more consistent color\/pattern, highly resistant to stains, but can be damaged by excessive heat (requires trivets).<br \/>\nChoose granite for natural beauty, uniqueness, and maximum heat tolerance; choose quartz for uniformity and zero maintenance sealing.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Can I use vinegar or bleach to clean granite?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>A: No!<\/strong>\u00a0Avoid acidic cleaners (vinegar, lemon juice, Windex) and harsh chemicals (bleach, ammonia).
