Place a few drops of water or a wet paper towel on an inconspicuous area of the granite. After 10 to 15 minutes, check the spot. If the water has beaded up, the seal is still intact. If the water has been absorbed and darkened the stone, it's time to apply a new coat of sealant. You can choose to seal the granite yourself or hire a professional to ensure it's done correctly.</p></div>

Q: What is the best color for concrete countertops?

• <div><p>Gray is always a safe bet when painting concrete countertops, since concrete is a variation of gray. You may also choose black or white, but those are much starker colors that only do well in certain kitchens. </p></div>

Q: Can terrazzo counters be easily damaged?

• <div><p>The resin should be periodically sealed to help prevent it from wearing down or becoming porous. Very sharp or very hot objects can damage the resin surface, and there&rsquo;s no way to fully repair it if that happens, so we recommend treating the counters well.</p></div>

Q: What is the required upkeep for concrete countertops?

• <div><p>Concrete countertops require regular upkeep and can be harder to maintain than other materials. For daily cleaning, use a mild, pH-neutral cleaner and avoid harsh, acidic products that can damage the sealant. It's important to wipe up spills immediately, especially from acidic substances, as concrete stains easily. To prevent scratches, always use a cutting board. The countertops must be resealed periodically&mdash;at least once a year&mdash;to protect them from stains and moisture. Be aware that concrete is also prone to cracking over time and may require repairs.</p></div>

Q: Are concrete countertops better than granite?

• <div><p>Concrete and granite are both extremely durable materials. One isn&rsquo;t necessarily better than the other. It depends on what you&rsquo;re looking for. That said, granite is less costly and requires less maintenance. Furthermore, concrete is more prone to staining and cracking, though you can patch the cracks using a concrete patching compound. </p></div>
