Q: Does a marble countertop need to be sealed?

• <div><p>Marble is a porous natural stone that needs sealant to minimize staining. Leaving this <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/countertop-types-materials.htm">type of countertop material</a> sealant-free means any liquids left on the surface will quickly absorb into the stone, discoloring it and dulling the sheen. Dark or acidic liquids, like red wine, coffee, and lemon, are the worst culprits. </p></div>

Q: Can you use car polish on marble?

• <div><p>You can use some types of car wax to polish marble floors, as long as the polish is designed for use on marble floors. Read the label and test the polish on a small area of the floor first to see how it interacts with the marble. Car wax can help fill in or buff away small scratches, while polishing the marble for extra shine.</p></div>

Q: What happens to granite if you don’t seal it?

• <div><p>Unsealed granite is more susceptible to staining and other damage. Regularly sealing your granite countertops decreases the chances you&rsquo;ll need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-i-repair-damaged-countertop.htm">repair damaged countertops</a> in the future. It also keeps it looking shiny rather than becoming dull over time. You can check whether your granite needs resealing by putting a few drops of water on the counter and waiting 15 minutes to see whether the water permeates the surface.</p></div>

Q: Does soapstone crack easily?

• <div><p>No, soapstone does not crack easily. The softness of the material protects it from cracking but makes it prone to other types of damage such as scratches. Scratches may need to be buffed out occasionally using fine-grit sandpaper. You can also conceal minor scratches in your soapstone countertops by rubbing the surface with mineral oil.</p></div>

Q: Is quartzite less expensive than quartz?

• <div><p>For most homeowners, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quartz-vs-quartzite.htm">quartz and quartzite countertops</a> are similar in price. The average quartz countertop installation costs $80 to $220 per square foot, while quartz countertops cost $70 to $200 per square foot. Of course, there are outliers, like if you choose a highly customized, rare natural stone with high-end finishes.</p></div>
