Your granite countertops will come installed with a protective coating, which allows the natural stone to breathe and be sealed. You will need to wipe your granite countertops after every time they are used with a mild soap solution. This should be done daily and harsh abrasives should not be used on the granite countertops as these will damage them and make them look bad. You should not use harsh cloths or metal pads on the granite countertops as these will scratch the surface.
