What is the best concrete countertop wax? When it comes to protecting concrete countertops you are going to want to choose either a durable concrete coating, or a penetrating concrete sealer and wax combination. Durable concrete coatings are great for heavy spills, heavy duty cleaners, abrasion resistance and high gloss finishes. If you want to protect your countertop and completely stop the penetration of spills and staining use a coating.

If you are looking for the concrete countertop to retain its natural look use a penetrating concrete sealer. Penetrating concrete countertop sealers will help to inhibit the penetration of water and staining from fluids. Keep in mind that spills still need to be cleaned up in a timely manner when using a penetrating concrete countertop sealer. Using a concrete countertop wax in addition to a penetrating concrete sealer will help to increase the staining protection, and bring the sheen up to a satin finish.

We like this concrete countertop wax, it is a food safe blend of beeswax, carnauba wax and mineral oil that is specifically manufactured for concrete countertop applications.  A few light coats of wax is applied to a concrete countertop and we recommend waxing the countertops weekly. Concrete countertop wax is extremely affordable and provides much needed added protection to penetrating concrete countertop sealers.
