Worktop guide
Does black granite need sealing?
Sealing requirements depend on the actual stone and any existing treatment. Ask for the care guidance for your worktop before applying a sealer, rather than sealing all black granite on a fixed schedule.
What to consider
- 01
Identify the material and check the care instructions supplied with it.
- 02
Use a suitable pH-neutral cleaner and a soft cloth for routine cleaning.
- 03
Wipe spills promptly and dry the surface after cleaning.
- 04
Use chopping boards and trivets to protect the finish.
- 05
Ask about any darkening, marks or existing treatment before applying sealer; follow the chosen product's instructions.
For cutting or fabrication, use a suitably equipped stone professional. Read HSE guidance on silica dust.
