Blue Pearl Granite Countertops are one of the most beautiful and durable natural stones you can have in your home. With their shimmering silver, blue, and black speckles, they add instant luxury and charm to kitchens and bathrooms alike. But like any high-end surface, keeping them in top condition requires proper care and attention.
In this guide, the experts at SF Marble and Granite share practical tips on how to clean, protect, and preserve your Blue Pearl Granite countertops for years to come. Whether you're a homeowner or a designer, these insights will help maintain your investment and keep your space looking stunning.
Why Blue Pearl Granite Requires Special Care
While Blue Pearl Granite is more resistant to staining and scratching than many other materials, it's still a natural stone. That means it’s slightly porous and can react to acidic substances, harsh cleaners, or improper tools.
At SF Marble and Granite, we educate our customers on proper maintenance from day one. Our goal is not only to install high-quality countertops but to help you keep them looking brand new.
Daily Cleaning: Keep It Simple
For daily care, gentle cleaning is key. Here’s a routine recommended by the professionals at SF Marble and Granite:
Use a soft cloth or sponge
Avoid abrasive scrubbers that can dull the polished finish.Wipe down with warm water and mild dish soap
This simple mix is usually enough to clean up food spills and dust.Dry the surface with a microfiber cloth
This helps prevent water spots and keeps your granite shiny.
Avoid using generic all-purpose cleaners or anything with bleach, vinegar, or ammonia. These can degrade the sealant and dull the stone over time.
How to Deal With Spills and Stains
Even though Blue Pearl Granite is highly resistant, it’s not immune. Quick action helps avoid permanent stains:
For Oil-Based Spills (butter, cooking oil, etc.)
Blot (don’t wipe!) the area with a paper towel.
Use a granite-safe degreaser or mix baking soda with water to form a paste.
Apply the paste, cover with plastic wrap, and let sit for a few hours or overnight.
Rinse and wipe clean.
For Wine, Coffee, or Juice
Use a granite-safe stain remover.
Alternatively, make a paste using hydrogen peroxide and baking soda.
Apply the paste and let it sit, then rinse thoroughly.
Avoid scrubbing aggressively, as this can remove the sealant or damage the polish.
Don’t Forget to Reseal: Why It’s Crucial
Sealing is one of the most important steps in granite maintenance. The sealant acts as a protective barrier against stains, bacteria, and moisture.
How to Know If Your Countertop Needs Sealing
Do the water drop test:
Pour a few drops of water on your countertop.
If the water beads up, your seal is still good.
If it absorbs within a few minutes, it’s time to reseal.
At S&F Marble and Granite, we recommend resealing Blue Pearl Granite every 12 to 18 months depending on usage.
How to Reseal
Clean the surface thoroughly.
Apply a granite sealer using a clean cloth or applicator.
Let it sit for 15–20 minutes, then wipe off any excess.
Buff dry with a microfiber cloth.
