Concrete countertops are the perfect choice for anyone wanting to elevate their kitchen or bathroom space. They offer a lot of benefits over other countertop options, including a more elegant look and feel, as well as increased strength and durability. Maintenance is important for keeping your concrete countertops looking their best, but luckily, maintenance is simple.
Here are some tips and tricks for maintaining your concrete countertops:
- Add a seal. A protective seal coating will help your concrete countertops resist staining. Spills and messes are common in a kitchen, and while concrete naturally does a good job of resisting stains, an additional sealing provides even more help.
- Wash it gently. Using harsh chemicals isn’t a good idea when it comes to cleaning your concrete countertops. While other countertop materials may require fancy cleaning agents to properly clean them, soap or a simple detergent with water is all you need for cleaning concrete.
- Don’t use them as a cutting board. Though concrete countertops are durable, you shouldn’t use them as something they aren’t. Make sure to do all of your cutting on a designated cutting board rather than on your countertops, as persistent cutting can scratch the surface of your concrete.
Concrete countertop maintenance is simple yet effective at keeping your countertops looking their best for years to come. If you want to know more about maintaining them or don’t have concrete countertops and are looking to upgrade to them, come talk to us at Força.
