Uncovering The Myths On Granite!
February 12th, 2010 Categories: Dripping Springs Area News
In recent years, granite has become a popular surface choice for bathroom and kitchen countertops. Granite is beautiful and extremely durable, but some homeowners hesitate to use it because of myths about it being unsafe or difficult to care for. Below, find a list of granite myths dispelled:
1. Granite is absorbent.
Granite qualifies as impervious to water and is actually less absorbent than some solid surface (plastic) products.
2. Granite stains easily.
Granite is resistant to stains. Generally any liquid spilled on a granite top, if wiped up within a few minutes, will not stain. Liquids that do not evaporate, such as oils, will cause stains only if left to soak into the stone.
3. Granite requires a lot of maintenance.
Routine cleaning with a mild soap and water is all that is generally required. Once a year, a reapplication of a penetrating sealer should be performed. It takes only about 15 minutes. Never use abrasive cleaners.
4. Granite’s tiny pores and fissures harbour bacteria.
Bacteria are found everywhere. If they are on a granite top, then they can also be found on a laminate or solid surface top. Use an antibacterial soap to wash your countertop if you are concerned.
5. Granite and marble are essentially the same.
Other than the fact that they are both natural stones and can be polished, granite and marble are otherwise very different. Marble is generally a calcareous stone, formed from oceanic deposits and then compressed under pressure (metamorphosed). Granite, however, is an igneous rock, essentially molten magma, that is cooled and then hardened below the earths surface.
Your natural stone counter top choice will add years of beauty, strength, durability, and ease of maintenance to your home. Enjoy!

Dripping Springs Chamber of Commerce: Advice on Donating to Haiti
January 18th, 2010 Categories: Dripping Springs Area News
BBB Advice on Donating by Text Message to Haiti Relief Efforts
Austin , TX – In the wake of the earthquake disaster in Haiti , many Americans are donating via text message for the first time. BBB Wise Giving Alliance advises donors that giving through text can be a safe and easy way to give, but it is important to use caution. Within days following the disaster in Haiti , it was widely reported that more than $3 million was donated through text messaging to such organizations as the Red Cross and others.
“BBB has not heard of any scams relying on text message donations so far,” said Carrie A. Hurt, President and CEO of BBB serving Central, Coastal and Southwest Texas . “However, this emerging method of donating is open for exploitation by scammers.”
BBB offers consumers the following tips on giving through text messages:
• Confirm the number directly with the source. Consumers should double check the advertised text code directly with the charity they wish their donation to go to if they are unsure.
• Be aware that text donations are not immediate. Depending on the text message service used by the charity, text donations can take anywhere from 30-90 days to be transferred to the designated charity. Consumers who would like the donation to be received immediately by the charity can give online through the charity’s Web site, by calling the charity directly or by sending a check in the mail.
• Review the fine print. When you give to a charity through text message, you might also be signing yourself up to receive text message updates from the charity in the future. A charity should include the details of its text campaign on its Web site so you can see what you’re signing up for and how you can opt out.
• Research the charity. Giving wisely to a charity isn’t just about making sure that the solicitation isn’t coming from scammers. Wise donors make sure their donations are going to charities that are best equipped to help in the relief efforts and will responsibly use the money for its intended purpose.
BBB Wise Giving Alliance has compiled a list of charities which are seeking to provide assistance in response to the earthquake in Haiti and meet BBB Standards for Charity Accountability at http://www.bbb.org/us/haiti-earthquake-relief/
For more information on giving to charities and to check the reliability of a company, visit www.bbb.org.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
