Also, only use neutral ph balanced cleaners made especially for stone products. NO HARSH CHEMICALS. Do not clean with vinegar and water as the vinegar is a natural acid and will etch the surface of the stone. No oil and vinegar salad making either. Oils (butter, margarine, etc.) will leech into the stone causing a dark spot not very easily removable.

Stone countertops maximizes your return on your investment. Nothing better.
