Emerald Pearl vanity top

We are in the process of having a beautiful vanity top installed in our bathroom. It is shiny black with large, almost irridescent flakes of blue. However we are told it is actually called Emerald Pearl. We will be finishing the bathroom with ceramic tile and matching emerald pearl granite tiles in the shower, floor and backsplash. I understand from reading your site that this particular counter does not need sealant. All I would like to know is which products to use to keep our deep shine intact and clean. The products I have been trying to decide upon are as follows: MB-5, 17, 6, 13, 3 & 9. What do you recomend? Thank you for your assistance, R. Swearengin

 

Dear Rhonda:

Blue Pearl is blue. Emerald Pearl is, well, emerald. And the last time a checked, everybody told me that emeralds are green (I'm colorblind!... L ).

That said,

 

“ I understand from reading your site that this particular counter does not need sealant. ”

 

It is not counter: it is the stone that won't take any sealer in.

 

“ The products I have been trying to decide upon are as follows: MB-5, 17, 6, 13, 3 & 9. What do you recomend? ”

 

MB-5 and MB-17 are equivalent: one is a spray and the other is a wipe, but the cleaning agent is the same. Personally IU like better a spray product.

MB-6 you don't need it – It has nothing to do with anything here.

MB-13 is great for the countertop and the shower walls, but it's no good for floors (slipperiness). Di be stingy with MB-13 a little will do wonders, but more will not be better!!

MB-3 is something that you will eventually need when you will have a soap film accumulation. MB-9, only if you will ever have a mildew product.

 

Regardless of the products, your utmost concern should be the installation of the shower stall. Even the best stone (and Blue Pearl – or Emerald Pearl – is among them) will turn into a sad heap of junk is not installed properly!
