Comprehensive Granite Cleaning Solutions
Before polishing can begin, proper cleaning is essential. Many household cleaners contain acids or abrasives that can damage granite surfaces over time. Our professional granite cleaning service in Louisville uses pH-balanced, stone-safe cleaning solutions that:
- Remove built-up grime and residue
- Eliminate bacteria and sanitize surfaces
- Prepare the stone for polishing and sealing
- Preserve the natural characteristics of your granite
Our technicians are trained to identify the specific type of granite in your home and apply the appropriate cleaning methods for optimal results.
Professional Granite Sealing Services
Our experts apply premium-grade protective sealers that create an invisible molecular barrier throughout your granite’s porous surface. This advanced protection shields your valuable surfaces from stains, etching, and daily wear, potentially extending your granite’s lifespan and beauty by years. Our granite protection is completely safe, food-grade certified, and perfect for kitchen countertops in homes with children and pets.
At A-1 Kwik Dry, we apply premium-grade penetrating sealers that bond with the stone at a molecular level. Unlike standard sealers that merely sit in the pores temporarily, our exclusive sealing product creates a hybrid effect of both penetration and topical protection. This means:
- Superior protection against oil, grease, and high-pigment foods like wine, berries, and mustard
- Longer-lasting results (our sealer lasts significantly longer than competitors’ products)
- Better resistance to everyday cleaning products
- No need for frequent resealing (every 3-5 years versus annually with standard sealers)
Our sealing process includes:
- Thorough cleaning and preparation of the granite surface
- Application of professional-grade sealer using specialized techniques
- Proper curing time to ensure complete penetration
- Final buffing for a streak-free finish
Proper Granite Care and Maintenance
After we restore your granite surfaces, we’ll provide you with specific care instructions to maintain that beautiful shine:
- Use a pH-neutral cleaner specifically designed for natural stone
- Avoid acidic cleaners like vinegar, lemon, or products containing citrus
- Never use abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads that can scratch the surface
- Clean spills promptly, especially acidic substances like wine or citrus juice
- Use cutting boards to prevent scratches and trivets for hot pots and pans

Frequently Asked Questions About Granite Care
How often should granite countertops be professionally sealed?
With standard sealers, granite should be resealed annually. However, with our premium sealing system, most Louisville homes only need resealing every 3-5 years, depending on usage and the specific type of granite.
How can I tell if my granite needs to be resealed?
Place a few drops of water on your countertop. If the water beads up, your seal is still effective. If the water soaks in and darkens the stone within 3-5 minutes, it’s time for resealing.
Will sealing make my granite shiny?
Sealing alone doesn’t significantly change the shine level of granite. The shine comes from proper polishing. Our granite service includes both polishing (for shine) and sealing (for protection).
What causes granite to become dull over time?
Granite typically becomes dull from:
- Using improper cleaning products (especially acidic or abrasive cleaners)
- Hard water mineral buildup (especially around sinks)
- Micro-scratches from everyday use
- Natural wearing of previous sealers
- Etching from acidic foods and beverages
How long does professional granite cleaning and sealing take?
For most Louisville kitchens, our complete granite cleaning, polishing, and sealing service takes 2-4 hours, depending on the size and condition of your countertops. The sealer will be dry to the touch within 2 hours but requires 24-48 hours to fully cure for maximum protection.
Is granite sealing safe for food preparation surfaces?
Absolutely! Once fully cured, our granite sealer is completely food-safe and non-toxic, making it perfect for kitchen countertops where food is prepared.
