How To Care For Granite Countertops
December 22nd, 2008
Kitchen designed and granite sealed by Mosby Building Arts.
Granite is the most popular material for countertops and if you have chosen this natural stone for your home, you know what a big investment it is.
Granite requires special care, from which types of cleaners you can use to what can or cannot be set on it. There’s a lot of Do’s and Don’ts to remember, and sealing your granite is recommended to decrease some of the maintenance. Sealing your granite helps relieve the worry of stains by keeping spills on the surface of the granite.
Granite sealers are typically a penetrating plastic solid that is pulled into the stone, but it wears off with daily use and cleaning, which is why yearly reapplications are needed. You know that the sealer has failed when a spill becomes a stain, which is frustrating. So, because the sealant will eventually wear off, you still have the worry of “ when will it fail?”
Mosby Building Arts is taking care of our client’s granite with ProTreat Sealer, a one-time application by trained and experienced Mosby technicians. What makes our sealer more efficient is that it internally bonds with the stone, filling the microscopic cavities, and this prevents the stone from absorbing liquids in the first place. Another benefit of the Mosby seal is that it also protects your grout, keeping it crisp and as easy to clean as the stone itself.
All stone walls, floors, grout and counters in this masterbathroom are sealed by Mosby.
ProTreat Sealer can go over and through any previous sealers you’ve used and does not change the appearance of your stone. Along with granite, marble and travertine countertops, we have sealed terrazzo floors, shower walls and stone fireplace surrounds. Most any stone surface that is vulnerable to stains can – and should – be treated.

A sealer is only as good as its application, and Mosby has an expert – Jim – who has been sealing stone, concrete and wood for over 20 years. From practical application to chemical science, Jim has the training and experience to know the truth about what does and does not work. His expertise backed with Mosby knowledge and service gives you a sealing solution to rely on.
Seal it once – not once a year – and be free to use and enjoy your granite countertops and natural stone without the worry of staining. Click here for more information on ProTreat Sealer by Mosby.
