In an attempt to protect new countertops, many owners will apply sealant too frequently, which can create a cloudy or streaky appearance on natural stone, concrete, butcher block and glass. Homeowners should always defer to the manufacturers’ recommendations when it comes to sealing, as different materials can have different needs. Using bleach as a go-to cleaner is another common mistake. Bleach can eat through sealant, discolor laminate and dissolve vinyl. Homeowners should use water and vinegar instead, which are the perfect tools for most home cleaning jobs.
