Stone Options
marble stone
Marble is made up of many different compounds but mainly consists of calcium carbonate, which is why marble countertops are normally light and creamy in color. If you’re a baker, you’ll be happy to learn that marble is one of the most heat resistant stones out there. Marble has been used over the centuries for many things, including statues, fireplace surrounds, hearths and tile. Marble is very soft, stains easily and is affected by acid. Regular sealing can help in this area, but stains and scratches in marble are to be expected. Marble has a clean, bright, timeless look that will age along with your home.

quartz
Today’s quartz countertops are made of a newly engineered material that is up to 93% ground, natural quartz combined with polymer resins. This results in a super-hard, low-maintenance, natural stone-look countertop. Because they are non-porous, quartz countertops do not require sealing. It’s worth noting that quartz countertops can be affected by high heat, so it is recommended to protect your countertop with trivets or hot pads.

Cleaning & Sealing
Cleaning your stone
All natural stone products are subject to damage if not cared for and sealed properly.
You really only need three things: warm water, mild dishwashing soap and a microfiber cloth. To clean, simply mix the water and soap in a bucket/sink and apply with the microfiber cloth. It’s that simple.
Tip: Make sure your soap doesn’t contain citrus, as they’re too acidic and may damage your stone or sealant.
Sealing your stone
The purpose of sealing your stone is to increase stain resistance so that the natural stone repels dirt and water. The sealant penetrates the stone, reducing absorption of dirt and staining agents. Sealing will help protect your stone but will not eliminate all staining. Spills should be wiped off immediately to prevent stains from settling into the stone. Typical over the counter sealers require periodic reapplication. Marble Line offers a sealer that lasts in excess of 10 years as an option. A sealer must be used that is made specifically for your type of stone.
