Who has sealed their granite countertops

We have granite countertops and they are brand new - i am just trying to detemine if it is really necessary to seal the granite every year

My parents have granite - that is now 6 years old and ti looks perfect still and they have never sealed it yet

also what does sealing entail?

thanks

The granite company I dealt with said it really doesn't need to be sealed as long as you treat it properly.

They only used Glass Plus on their granite... nothing with ammonia (no traditional Windex, etc) as the ammonia breaks down the seal.

My MIL has had granite in her kitchen longer than most people (over 15 years), never had to get it sealed, and my FIL is in the kitchen design business.

I'd just be careful what you clean it with and what you place on it. You should be ok.
