If you look after your new granite countertop properly, it is all but indestructible.  However you need to remember that one of the first thing that you’ll need to learn is that the care of granite countertops involves cleaning as soon as something is spilled on the surface.

No Lemon Juice On That Granite Countertop

Even though your new granite countertop is considered tough, there are some fluids that will stain if they are left to sit on the surface for extended periods. The acids from lemons or oranges will stain if they are left for a long period of time and any abrasive chemicals that are used to clean the surface will eat away at the finish if left for long periods of time.

However, there is a way around this. If you apply a sealer right away to this material, you will be protected from the worst damage possible. As well, sealers also protect the color and shine of you new granite countertop.
