I don't know if you guys are like me but
I've had my granite countertops now for
two years and I've never seen them and
I'm pretty sure that people before me
never filled them either so let's figure
out how to seal the granite countertops
now it's an easy process you're first
going to start off pour some water on
the counter just to see it what the
water does now as I pour it here it is
actually dissipating and spreading that

your arm lengths and doing it like so
always remember when cleaning too to
follow the cautions
the warning signs the instructions on
these devices because you really want to
ensure safety first
now when cleaning the area the best
cleaner is a natural stone cleaner what
you're going to do is you're going to
spray the area down and then you're
going to wait about 15 seconds and then
you're going to dry it up with a cloth
or a paper towel so just like so just
making sure that it is in fact all clean
because we want to ensure that we have a
nice clean surface to commence to move
that out of the way and here we go
and so as I'm wiping down this is
actually reminding me that when it comes
to seeing if an area has been sealed
what you want to do is you actually I
have noted that
it's bees that is actually something
that was proved that your sealer is
working so I have talked about the
opposite when it actually dissipates and
it spreads out and that's a sign that
you need to seal it but if it is beating

that is maximum strength and it has

goes a long way and I'm going to view
the entire countertop and we're going to

towel because I have an abundance of
microfiber and I find it works very well

so as you start wiping it you are going
to notice that it is going to have you
know a nice surf finish the seal is
there and what you want to do is you
want to make sure that you do not eat
off of it or do anything to it for one
