We've just had Verde Butterfly counters installed in our kitchen. When our installer first put them in, we loved the look; it was exactly what we'd imagined. Then he applied what he said was a "sealer to enhance the color." I'm not sure if it was a sealer, or a color enhancer, in other words. Anyway...we don't like the "enhanced" color and preferred it before application of this product. Is there anything we can do? Thank you. Susan

Dear Susan:

No there's nothing that you can do. Only a professional could. The good news is that, most likely, it can be done.

Verde Butterfly is very dense and the color-enhancer did have a chance do go very deep. If it did, forget it!

Now remember, it's never too early to think about the proper maintenance of your stone. The issue of what you'll be doing day in and day out to your stone is far more important than its sealing (if and when possible and/or advisable) and it's all too often neglected. As you can tell by reading many of this site's postings, you're not likely to get good information about it from your dealer or installer. Don't become another statistic!
