Get the Best Countertop Finish!
Ask any professional countertop polishing expert, and they will tell you that there is no right way to achieve a flawless finish. After all, different types of stone and different types of finishes require different techniques and methods. So, before you do any DIY polishing, you will have to first understand what to do and what not to do. Avoid the following mistakes when doing your own DIY polishing. Read on!
Not Using Clean and Dry Prewashed Cloth
Are you planning to do your own top polishing using pre-soaking methods? Make sure you use clean and dry prewashed cloth as this is the key to a successful polishing result. If you use unsoaked cloth, you may end up with a reflective finish.
Applying Too Much Pressure
Applying too much pressure during your DIY polishing can be damaging to your countertop. So, always keep in mind that too much pressure can result in cloth abrasion marks, not to mention that it will also leave your countertop uneven.
Using Dull or Improperly Cut Cloth
If you choose to do your own countertop polishing, do not use dull or improperly cut cloth. A dull cloth will result in more cleaning, while improperly cut cloths will result in damage to your countertop surface. The right cloth is the key and not the most accessible thing you have at home. This is where investing in a quality countertop pre-soak machine comes in handy.
Not Soaking Cloths
When pre-soaking cloth, you must make sure to soak them in water for at least 20 minutes. You can use either warm or cold water depending on what type of stone you are working with.
