How to Maintain Your Countertops in Harsh Weather??

Alberta’s climate can be tough on home interiors, including countertops. Freezing winters, dry conditions, and summer heat can affect different materials over time. At Ebram Countertops, we provide expert advice on maintaining your surfaces for long-lasting beauty and performance.

General Maintenance Tips for Countertops in Alberta:

• Avoid Direct Heat: Use trivets or heat pads under hot pots to prevent thermal shock, especially for quartz and solid surfaces.
• Wipe Up Spills Immediately: Prevent staining and moisture damage by cleaning up spills promptly.
• Use Cutting Boards: Avoid direct cutting on countertops to prevent scratches and dulling.
• Regular Cleaning: Use mild soap and water instead of harsh chemicals to maintain the finish.

• Granite Countertops: Seal periodically to prevent moisture penetration and stains.
