Don't you hate it when you get sticky adhesive or residue stuck on things? What if it happens to be on your beautiful granite counter tops? Granite counter tops are known for their durability and elegant finish, but you definitely need to be careful when getting residues off. At Bayes, we know granite counter tops and want to make sure you are properly equipped in caring for them! So use these tips below to get sticky residue off your counter tops both easily and without the use of harsh chemicals.
What you'll need:
- Razor blade
- Soft cleaning cloth
- Baking Soda
- Olive Oil
- Denatured alcohol
- Plastic spatula
- Organic Counter Top Cleaner
- Scrape the adhesive with a razor blade in careful gentle strokes. Do not apply too much pressure. Wipe off debris with a clean, soft cloth.
- Pour a small amount of denatured alcohol, on a soft, clean cloth if the razor blade did not remove all the adhesive. Rub this solvent on the adhesive to remove it.
- Sprinkle an area of the granite with a cloth with a small amount of baking soda while it's still wet and gently rub in a circular motion. Then, add in a small amount of olive oil and let it sit for a few minutes. Come back and rub the cloth over the adhesive spot to remove it further.
- Repeat that last step and go ahead and let it sit overnight. In the morning, add more oil and massage off the remaining residue with a rubber or plastic spatula and clean the granite with a wet cloth.
- Once the residue is off, you'll want to replenish the counter top with natural, organic granite counter top conditioner. Just as when we wash our hands and need to moisturize them after, our counter tops require the same gentle care.
You've invested in the best, and now it's time to give it the care it deserves! Have a healthy and clean kitchen today, from Bayes!
