I spent a fortune on my kitchen and I am afraid it make a horrible mistake. Thank you so much .. I pray to GOD you can help...
 
Dear Jody:
Right or wrong, some say that I know a couple of things about stone, but all those who know me well enough, unanimously and wholeheartedly agree that I make the lousiest decorator on planet Earth!!... :-(
I'm strictly a mechanic, so, please, leave me out of the decorating business; I'm even 25% colorblind, for crying out loud! :-)
And you don't need to pray, either: you can get advice from the right type of professionals...

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! By logging into the Helpful Hints section of our website at: http://www.marblecleaning.org/helpful-hints.htm, you will be able to get the short version of our maintenance guidelines at no charge.
