    Granite Cleaning and Maintenance Procedures

    For a deeper-cleaning solution, fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 mix of rubbing alcohol and
    water; the spray cleaner gives granite surfaces a nice shine. A mix like this can also
    help eliminate some germs and aid in disinfecting granite surfaces.

    In general, granite surfaces should be cleaned with soft cotton cloths or clean rag mops
    along with neutral cleaners, mild liquid dishwashing detergent and water, or cleaners
    made specifically for granite. After washing with a soap solution, rinse the surface with
    water, and dry with a soft cloth to eliminate water spots and streaking.

    Always wipe up spills as they happen by blotting the spill so it doesn’t spread. Clean
    the area with water and mild dish soap and rinse with clean water several times.

    Though granite surfaces have some stain resistance, stains are still likely to pop up,
    especially in food preparation areas and at bathroom vanity stations. Common stains
    that mar kitchen and bathroom surfaces include oil-based and organic stains.

    Maintenance Procedures
    1. Always use coasters under glasses, particularly those containing alcohol or citrus
    juices, and place hot dishes on trivets. Don't store staining items—such as
    cooking oils and oil-based cosmetics and creams—on granite countertops.

    2. Protect against abrasive sand, dirt, and grit. Frequently mop interior floors using
    a clean non-treated dry dust mop. Minimize tracked-in dirt by placing slip-
    resistant mats or area rugs inside and outside entrances. If using a vacuum
    cleaner on granite floors, make sure that attachments and wheels are in tiptop
    shape; worn equipment can scratch granite.

    3. Stay on top of spills. Immediately blot (don't wipe) spills with a paper towel.
    Wiping spreads spills. Flush the area with a mix of water and mild dish soap;
    rinse several times. Dry the area thoroughly with a soft cloth. Repeat as
    necessary.

    4. Avoid harsh cleaners. Granites may contain trace levels of minerals that are acid
    sensitive, so don't use cleaning products containing lemon, vinegar, or other
    acids. Don't use scouring powders or abrasive creams or rust removers. Steer
    clear of ammonia, bleach, or cleaning products with solvents or caustics that
    could remove sealers.
