Do your Surfaces need Sealing? Try the Water Test

Here is an easy test to see if they do. This should be performed twice yearly.

The Water Sealer Test is quite simple but will be important for knowing when to replenish your sealer.

  1. Pour water, about 3 inches in diameter, on several different places of the surface. Let the water sit for about 15 minutes
  2. If you see a dark mark or ring, the water is penetrating the stone (don’t worry, it will evaporate) and it’s time to reseal.
  3. Ensure you’ve tested key areas of your countertop such as areas near sinks or appliances where the liquid is most likely to accumulate on the countertop. If you already see dark areas around your stovetop oil may have permeated the stone. Call Roth Restoration for an assessment and solution.
