Granite Care

The granite you have purchased for your home will give you many years of pleasure. Granite is a natural product and simple care, and maintenance will keep it looking at its best for decades. Here are some recommendations for routine care and cleaning –

• Clean granite surfaces with a few drops of neutral cleaner, or a mild liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water.
• Glass cleaner works well, but AVOID glass or any other cleaners that contain AMMONIA. BLEACH based products can cause damage to your granite so they should be avoided.
• Too much cleaner or soap may leave a film and cause streaks. If this happens, clean up excess soapy film with clear warm water and a sponge.
• Do not use that contain lemon, citrus, vinegar, or other acids on the granite. The high acid content can eat away the sealant and wax finish on the surface.
• Do not use scouring powders or liquids, these products contain abrasive chemicals or ammonia that may damage the finish. If you need to scrub the surface, a scouring pad, some warm water, and some good old fashion elbow grease works wonders. You can use fine steel-wool for extreme scouring jobs – with normal hand-pressure it will not scratch the granite surface but be sure to re-apply some sealer to that area.
