Cleaning and Maintenance

Granite countertops are a popular choice for kitchens and bathrooms due to their durability and aesthetic appeal. Proper care helps maintain their beauty and longevity. Here are easy ways to take care of granite countertops, along with alternative methods:

Daily Cleaning:

• Wipe down the surface with a soft cloth or sponge using mild dish soap and warm water

• Alternatively, you can use a mixture of water and isopropyl alcohol in equal parts for daily cleaning.

Avoid Hash Chemicals

• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, acidic substances (like vinegar or lemon juice), or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the surface

Sealing

• Granite countertops should be sealed regularly to prevent stains and moisture absorption. The frequency of sealing depends on the type of granite and the sealer used.

Use Cutting Boards:

• Avoid cutting directly on the granite surface, as it may dull your knives and potentially scratch the countertop. Use cutting boards instead.

Remove Stains Carefully

• For stubborn stains, make a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the stain, and cover with plastic wrap overnight. Gently scrape away the paste and rinse the area.

Remember that prevention is key when it comes to granite countertops. By adopting a regular cleaning routine and following these guidelines, you can keep your granite countertops looking beautiful for years to come.
