A good granite sealer can be integral to the overall well being of your granite surface.
Whether you're cleaning countertops or floors, there are some things you should know before buying a bottle of granite sealer.
Let's take a look at these factors, and I hope they'll be useful for you down the line.
First of all, there's the frequency with which you need to use the sealer.
This really comes down to a few sub-factors.
One has to do with the quality of the granite sealer.
If you're buying a high quality solution, this won't require the frequent use that a weaker one may require.
You'll usually see tips on the bottle for this, but it's a factor that you'll want to keep in mind when it comes to price.
The more expensive sealer might actually give you better value over the long haul, so work this into the equation when you're buying.
Another thing to keep in mind is the porous nature of your floor and how much of the granite it might take in when the sealer is applied.
The more porous your floor is, the longer the job will last for.
There are also certain measures you can take to make sure that your sealing job lasts for as long as possible.
One such measure is to make sure that the room is free of dust when you do the job.
In houses under construction, too many people make the mistake of applying granite sealing when the space is still cluttered.
Doing so many render the job somewhat ineffective, and the goal here is to perform this task as infrequently as possible.
The last factor is where to buy your bottle.
I personally like to do it online.
The reason for this is that granite sealer isn't one of those things that you'll likely need next day, so I don't mind waiting for shipping.
The fact that I can get better prices and access to reviews sells me on the idea of buying my granite sealer online.
