HOW TO CLEAN GRANITE KITCHEN COUNTERTOPS

Granite kitchen countertops bring natural beauty and durability to one of the most used spaces in your home. 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—especially food and oils—should be wiped up promptly to protect the finish and prevent discoloration

What to Avoid on Granite Kitchen Countertops

Many everyday kitchen cleaners can damage granite over time. Avoid using:

These products can dull granite’s surface and weaken the protective sealant, reducing its lifespan.

Why Dish Soap Isn’t the Best Choice

Dish soap and warm water are commonly used on granite kitchen counters. While effective for grease, dish soap leaves behind a thin residue each time it’s used. Over time, this buildup can attract dirt and make countertops look cloudy or streaked—especially under kitchen lighting.

A Better Way to Clean Granite Kitchen Counters

ADVANAGE the Wonder Cleaner® safely cleans granite kitchen countertops without leaving behind residue that dulls the surface.

This pH-neutral formula cuts through food messes, grease, and everyday grime while drying quickly to a spot- and streak-free finish. Plant-based extracts, essential oils, and minerals are used in place of petroleum distillates, ammonia, chlorine, and other harsh chemicals commonly found in kitchen cleaners.
