Irregular cleaning accumulates dirt, dust, grime, germs, and stains, making their removal harder. A consistent cleaning routine is crucial to prevent build-up and preserve the countertop's cleanliness. Regular maintenance keeps the surface pristine, making future cleaning tasks more manageable.

2. Not using proper cleaning products

Using cleaning products with abrasive or harsh chemicals can damage certain countertop materials, such as discoloration or erosion.
