How to Clean Granite Properly<\/h2>\n

Granite, as a natural stone, needs a bit of attention to ensure it is cared for properly. However, there’s not much you need to do to keep it clean. Here are a few steps to take to protect the stone.<\/p>\n

#1: Know What Not to Use<\/h3>\n

Granite is a porous stone. It absorbs much of the fluid on it, and this can create stains. Avoid any products with dye in them. You also want to keep all foods with red coloring away from the granite. When it comes to cleaning the surface, also avoid any type of bleach or abrasive material. This can damage the coating on the granite, leaving it more susceptible to stains.<\/p>\n

#2: Warm Water and Mild Soap Is Best<\/h3>\n

A simple, mild dish soap with warm water is all that is necessary to keep granite clean. It is best to wash off the surface using a soft cloth. Then, rinse it thoroughly to remove the soap residue before drying it. This will remove nearly anything on the surface.<\/p>\n

#3: Be Careful Using Wipe Cleaners<\/h3>\n

Some cleaning wipes say they are ideal for granite surfaces, but they still can damage the exterior coating sealing the granite. Never use wipes with a bleach product in them or those not designed for granite surfaces. If you are unsure, it is best not to use them.<\/p>\n

Granite doesn’t allow bacteria to grow on it long. It will remain looking fantastic if you maintain it in this simple manner. You can use a bit of white vinegar on the surface if you need something with more scrubbing power for surfaces.<\/p>\n
