Idaho Falls Design: Countertop Maintenance Information

At Idaho Falls Design, we understand the importance of maintaining the elegance and functionality of your countertops. Our expertise in countertop care and maintenance ensures that your surfaces remain pristine and durable.


We provide a range of services tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients in Idaho Falls and the surrounding areas. Here are some do's and don'ts when it comes to your countertop care:


  • Clean Spills Right Away: Blot the spill with a soft cloth or sponge and warm water. Avoid waiting, as spills can become harder to manage over time.
  • Avoid Abrasive Cleaners: You should not use scouring pads, steel wool, or harsh chemicals while cleaning your countertops, these can scratch and damage your countertop.
  • Use Coasters: Use coasters to protect your countertop from scratches and etching.
  • Avoid Sitting or Standing on Countertops: This can crack or break fragile stones like marble.
  • Clean Regularly: Use a pH-balanced, neutral stone cleaner to clean natural stone surfaces.
  • Seal Stone: Sealing your stone can help prevent stains.
  • Use Trivets or Hot Pads: Use trivets or hot pads to protect your countertop from extreme temperatures.
  • Use Gentle Cleaners: Use mild cleaning products to clean quartz countertops.
  • Avoid Acidic Cleaners: Acidic substances like wine, coffee, or fruit juices can etch granite.
