How do I seal my granite countertops?

Sealing your granite countertops is a very easy thing to do.  The first thing you need to do is by some sealer.  There are two types of sealer there is the regular sealer and the more expensive enhance sealer.  You need to make sure what your installer used as your sealer.  The difference is enhance sealer will give your countertops a wet look.  Most of the time a regular sealer will be used because of the high polish of the countertops.

There really aren’t too many things that you need for resealing.  Pretty much you need the sealer and a clean rag (or sealer sponge (not very porous) you can get at any home store).  One thing that I would suggest too if you have never done this before is to get some rubber gloves.  I have never met anyone who has used sealer and had adverse effects but I have heard that a guy had problems with some allergic reaction to the chemicals, better to be safe then sorry I guess.

You need to make sure that the granite countertops are clean, use a mild soap and water.  Then what you do is pour some of the sealer on the granite towards the center of the area you are working on.  Then you just wipe and distribute evenly over the granite.  Follow the directions on the wait time and then you should be good to go.  What I always suggest is that after the wait time take some water and test it out by spilling on your countertops and make sure that is beads up.  If it does not it would be a good thing to go over it again.
