🪨 Why Granite Needs Special Care

Granite is a natural stone that’s porous — meaning it can absorb liquids if not properly sealed. Harsh cleaners and acidic substances can dull its shine and cause etching.

Following the right cleaning method protects your investment and keeps your granite looking luxurious for years.

✅ Daily Granite Cleaning Tips

1️⃣ Use a Soft Cloth or Microfiber

Wipe spills immediately using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid rough sponges or scouring pads which can scratch the surface.

2️⃣ Mild Soap Solution

Clean daily with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap. Wipe with a damp cloth and dry with a soft towel to prevent water spots.

3️⃣ Avoid Harsh Cleaners

Never use acidic or abrasive cleaners like vinegar, lemon juice, bleach, or ammonia. They can damage the sealant and dull the granite’s polish.

🧽 Deep Cleaning & Stain Removal

1️⃣ Baking Soda Paste

For oil-based stains (like cooking oil), mix baking soda and water into a paste. Apply it on the stain, cover with plastic wrap, and let it sit for a few hours or overnight, then wipe clean.

For water-based stains (like coffee or juice), use a baking soda and hydrogen peroxide paste instead.

2️⃣ Reseal Periodically

Granite should be resealed every 1–2 years to maintain its stain resistance. Pour a few drops of water on the surface — if it seeps in within a few minutes, it’s time to reseal.

🛑 What to Avoid

🚫 Avoid placing hot pans directly on granite — use trivets.
🚫 Don’t cut food directly on granite — use a cutting board.
🚫 Don’t let spills (especially wine, oil, or citrus) sit for too long.

💡 Extra Tip: Use Coasters

Using coasters for glasses and mugs prevents water rings and mineral build-up on granite surfaces.
