How do I tell if my sealer is wearing off?
Being able to tell if your sealer is wearing off on your granite countertops is very easy to do. The best way is to take a glass of water and spill it on your granite coutnertops. You want to make sure that you spill in many different spots of your countertops. The reason that you want to do this is to make sure that the sealer is holding up in all spots. What you should see after you spill onto the granite is that the water will bead up. This is a good thing this means that your granite countertops do not need to be sealed. If the water is soaking into the countertops and is making dark spots RED FLAG. This means that your countertops are absorbing the water and you can be vulnerable to stains. You should immediately go and get some sealer and reseal asap. One good thing to find out is what kind of sealer your installers use. Ask how long it should typically last. I know my customers at Countertop Kings get a dry treat 15 years sealer at no extra charge that will last a good 11-13 years. If you have any question about your installers sealer and when you should reseal feel free to email me at klotz@countertopkings.com, I will be happy to help out.
If you make sure that you granite countertops are sealed they will last forever and will be easy to maintain.
