Granite Care

What to Expect

HydroShield protected surfaces are not self-cleaning. HydroShield surfaces are up to 75% easier to clean because the dirt and grime no longer penetrate the surface, but sit on top of the HydroShield coating. HydroShield protects the natural beauty of granite.

Easy-to-Clean Granite

To clean your granite, simply use hot soapy water and a clean cotton towel and follow with an alcohol-based cleaner and a microfiber towel. For best results, use HydroShield Multi-Purpose Cleaner.  We love our cleaner and know you will too!

Anti-Bacterial Granite

HydroShield protected granite will be more sanitary as we have sealed the pores in the stone where bacteria can reside and multiply.
