Tips to protect granite countertops from
hot pansIt is better not to
place hot pans directly on your granite countertops. Allow the hot pans
to cool and be sure to wipe their undersides to remove any black or burn
marks before placing them directly on your granite slab.
Placing hot pans on your granite
countertop is generally unavoidable. But you should not forget that
though granite has the ability to withstand extreme temperatures, it is
not impervious to heat. So you should protect the direct contact of your
hot pans by placing a protective covering like an extra metal tray or
chopping board between the pan and the granite surface. This will save
your granite worktops from getting hot pan burns and marks.
Tips to restore granite worktops
damaged by hot pans
There are many restoring liquids or
pastes available in market that can be used to polish your granite
countertop and remove stains and marks. Most of the granite worktop
manufacturers recommend their own line of products for the maintenance
of their worktops. These solutions can be used directly on the damaged
surface of your granite countertop. For deeper marks that would not come
off, you should consult your manufacturer or professional granite
countertop servicemen who can come to your home and attend to the damage
right away.
