It seems like just yesterday we were planning our 2015 new year’s resolutions. We promised ourselves, our family, and friends that we would work out, eat healthy, save money, travel… I don’t know about you, but the goals I started out with ended long before the April showers, and now 2016 is just about here.

When setting goals for the new year, we tend to think about ourselves and how we can enhance our own lives, but what about the life of your granite home decor? Properly caring for your granite is a resolution you won’t want to break this upcoming year. Doing so could cost you and your family more than you think.

 

Fire Pit Table Granite Care

  • Granite tabletops should be resealed every 6 months. It takes just a few minutes to distribute an even coat of stone sealer and then wipe down the tabletop. The easiest resolution you could ever stick to!
  • When cleaning tabletops, use plain water or a PH neutral cleaner. We know many of you love Mr. Clean, but this is just one job he wasn’t meant to tackle.
  • Seal your tabletop before and after each winter. Sealing helps moisture stay out and the beauty of your granite stay in. If moisture sets in, the granite could crack, and we most certainly don’t want that.
  • Use a suitable outdoor cover every winter to prevent moisture from penetrating the granite. If you live in a region that receives heavy snowfall, it is possible that snow sitting on a granite tabletop for an extended period of time could allow moisture to enter the sealer. Try using your outdoor cover in a tent shape which would allow air flow to the granite releasing moisture.

  • Do NOT operate your fire pit table under windy conditions. This may cause the granite top to fissure or crack.
  • While operating your fire pit table, do NOT allow the granite top to get hot. If you enjoy using our Firetainment Recipe Book, you won’t want your hands or plates to touch a hot surface during dinner. Please monitor the temperature of your granite top table.
  • Do NOT sit or stand on your granite top. We here at Firetainment want you to Firetain safely enjoying the special time spent with friends, family, and loved ones.

  • Before installation of a new fire pit table or existing fire pit table, be sure that the propane tank is turned off. We here at Firetainment care about our customers and their eyebrows. Please make sure a flame is not started until you are prepared by reassuring that your propane tank is turned off.
  • Do NOT operate your Firetainment your fire pit table in the rain. This would not be fun for you or your family. Save Firetaining for a clear night or sunny day.
