How often should you reseal your stone worktops?

Grumpty's answer

Every 24 months

Why bother

Worn sealer lets the stone drink wine and oil in. A thorough-tier job. Skippable when life's busy, worth it when it isn't.

Why it's a range

Marble and limestone want it twice as often as granite. Quartz never does, so let the water-bead test settle it.

When to start thinking about it

A few days' warning does it. Grumpty grumbles 5 days out, then leaves you alone. Mark it done and Grumpty sets the next one, every 24 months, so you can go back to forgetting it exists.

ThoroughCleaning checklist

Let Grumpty remember it for you

Add it once. Grumpty tracks the date, grumbles when it's due, and rolls it forward the moment you mark it done. No spreadsheets, no sticky notes, no forgetting.
