EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. - Sept. 2, 2014 - PRLog -- Minneapolis Granite, a granite fabrication and installation company serving Eden Prairie, has recommendations on whether or not granite counters should be resealed.

When you have had the same countertops for many years, it is easy to forget what the recommendations for proper care are. Minneapolis Granite has some tips for new and veteran granite countertop owners alike on resealing your countertops.

Granite countertop fabricators say whether or not to reseal depends on the granite itself, the manufacturer’s recommendations and how porous the specific granite slab is.

There are a few signs that your granite countertops should be resealed. They include water not beading up on the granite’s surface and glassware that leaves a water ring after it has been set on the countertop surface.

Minneapolis Granite recommends basic granite counters maintenance and frequent cleaning. Wipe up spills right after they happen so they do not stain or leave water marks. Spills should always be wiped up with a soft, clean and damp cloth. And if you want to clean your granite counters, you should use a non-acidic and non-abrasive cleaner, as well as a soft, clean and damp cloth.

If you are having problems wiping up a spill easily, that may be another sign that it's time to reseal your countertops. Typically, granite countertops are low maintenance, so if you're not finding that to be the case, consider resealing.
