How To Clean Granite Countertops
HOW TO CLEAN GRANITE COUNTERTOPS
Granite countertops add natural beauty and durability to kitchens and bathrooms. Because granite is a natural stone, its porosity can vary from slab to slab. While granite is more resistant to staining than softer stones, spills should still be wiped up promptly to prevent discoloration and preserve the stone’s finish.
What to Avoid on Granite Countertops
Many common household cleaners can damage granite over time. Avoid using:
- Vinegar or lemon-based cleaners
- Glass cleaners
- Bleach or hydrogen peroxide
- Abrasive pads or steel wool
Regular use of these products can dull granite and weaken the protective sealant.
Why Dish Soap Isn’t Ideal
Warm water and mild dish soap are often recommended for granite countertops. While effective for everyday messes, dish soap leaves behind a thin residue each time it’s used. Over time, this buildup can reduce shine and make countertops look cloudy.
DIY methods like baking soda pastes can help with isolated stains, but they often require long dwell times and can disrupt daily kitchen use.
A Better Way to Clean Granite Countertops
ADVANAGE the Wonder Cleaner® safely cleans granite countertops without leaving behind residue that dulls the surface.
This pH-neutral formula dries quickly and leaves a spot- and streak-free finish that allows the natural beauty of granite to shine. Plant-based extracts, essential oils, and minerals are used instead of petroleum distillates, ammonia, chlorine, and other harsh chemicals commonly found in countertop cleaners.
Directions for Cleaning Granite Countertops
- Clear the Surface
Remove dishes, appliances, and debris from the countertop.
- Apply Cleaner
Lightly spray ADVANAGE the Wonder Cleaner® directly onto the surface.
- Wipe Clean
Using a clean microfiber cloth, wipe the countertop to lift dirt, grease, and food residue.
- Rinse if Needed
For heavily used food-prep areas, wipe again with a damp cloth to remove any remaining residue.
- Dry & Buff
Buff dry with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to restore shine and prevent water spots.
Countertop Care Tips
- Wipe spills immediately, especially acidic foods like citrus, wine, or tomato sauce
- Use cutting boards and trivets to protect the surface
- Seal granite periodically to maintain stain resistance
