My New Home has Stone Countertops

Dawn Sherwin • June 14, 2024

Don’t worry, be happy! Isn’t that a song?

The kitchen, in particular, showcases these granite countertops, which add both elegance and durability to the space. The natural stone surfaces are not only visually stunning but also highly resilient to everyday wear and tear.


Furthermore, these countertops are easy to clean and maintain, making them a practical choice for a busy household. Beyond the kitchen, elements such as new appliances and modern lighting fixtures also contribute to the overall aesthetic and functionality of my new home.


The bathrooms in my new home are equally impressive, featuring sleek finishes and high-quality materials that provide both aesthetics and practicality. The marble countertops and tiled walls create a spa-like atmosphere, making every visit feel luxurious. Modern fixtures and ample storage solutions ensure that the space stays organized and clutter-free.


Additionally, the large mirrors and strategic lighting enhance the sense of space, offering a bright and welcoming environment. Each room has been thoughtfully designed to offer comfort and style, making my new home a haven of modern living.


To keep the granite countertops in pristine condition, it is important to follow a few essential care tips. First, always clean up spills immediately to prevent staining; granite is somewhat porous, and certain liquids, such as wine or coffee, can seep in if not addressed swiftly.


Use a mild detergent and warm water for everyday cleaning, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface. Additionally, sealing the granite countertops at least once a year is crucial to maintain their resistance to stains and spills. For the marble countertops in the bathrooms, the care regime is slightly different.


 Marble is more susceptible to etching from acidic substances, so it’s vital to use pH-neutral cleaners and avoid products containing vinegar or lemon juice. Regular sealing is also necessary to protect the marble surfaces, ideally every six months. To minimize water spots and soap scum, wipe down the marble countertops with a soft cloth after each use.


As you can see, stone countertops in your kitchen and bathrooms are a good thing. If you have questions or feel a repair may be needed, the folks at Busche Granite are ready to help. Don’t be afraid, just enjoy new home!
