A new bathroom vanity is a lovely way to remodel your
bathroom. And they come in such a wide variety of colors, shapes and styles
that it is easy to find the perfect one. Minneapolis Granite can help install a
new bathroom
vanity in your Brooklyn Park home, and we also have several suggestions on
how to best care for it after it has been installed. The ways that you care for
it and maintain it depend on the type of stone used for the countertop. Here
are a few suggestions on how to keep your new bathroom vanity looking great for
years to come.
If your new bathroom vanity has granite countertops, the
best way to care for them is to simply wipe them down with water and a soft
cloth at least once a day. Granite is naturally bacteria resistant, so you do
not have to worry about disinfecting the surface. If anything spills on your
bathroom vanity, wipe up the mess as soon as possible after it happens.
The type of granite you get will dictate whether or not it
needs to be resealed in a few years. We will seal your granite as part of our
fabrication process. And we can advise you on if you will need to have it
resealed in a few years. There is also a simple at-home test you can do to see
if the granite needs to be resealed. Simply drop some water on your countertop
and see if it beads up. If it does, then the seal on your granite is fine. If
it does not, then you should contact us about resealing your counters. However,
granite only needs to be resealed every couple of years, if that.
For a marble bathroom vanity, it is cleaned and cared for in
similar ways as granite. Wipe the counter down on a regular basis with water
and a soft cloth. Dry them thoroughly after you are done. There are also
special marble cleaning products on the market these days, and you can use one
of them if you choose to. Just be sure to test a small and inconspicuous area
on your bathroom vanity before using it on the rest of the countertop.
