Stick to manufacturer recommendations for resealing; in frequently used kitchens, think about using daily sealing sprays for natural stone to improve stain resistance betwixt full seal coats. Utilize cutting boards to safeguard edges and prevent micro-chipping.
Heat protection is essential. Always use trivets for hot cookware, as sudden temperature changes may crack stone or delaminate laminates. Use protective mats around cooktops and coffee makers. Keep grout lines and caulking in good condition-perform seasonal inspections and fix gaps to keep moisture out.
