How to Care for Your Granite Counter Tops Without Ruining Them.

Granite countertops are for the wise quality seekers. You shop around for well

made products that serve you well and are going to last. The last thing you want to do is invest your well earned money into a great product like granite counter tops, and ruin them because you’re using the wrong cleaning products on them.

Standard cleaning products contain harsh and abrasive ingredients, including bleach. Bleach will sometimes say that it’s safe for properly sealed countertops, but that’s debatable. It is acidic and will break down the sealant over time. Also, if there is a break in the seal somewhere, the bleach can make it’s way into the compromised spot and corrode the makings of the granite.

Additionally, using harsh or abrasive chemicals is often a violation to the granite company’s warranty, meaning your mistake could really end up costing you in the end.

So now it’s clear, don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaners and sponges. Windex, acidic cleaners like vinegar, lemon, lime, or anything with ammonia or bleach. Frequent use of these chemicals will dull and weaken the sealant over time. Basically, the harsher the cleaner, the quicker it will break down the sealant.

Make sure your granite countertop is sealed. While granite is a very hard surface and less porous than marble, unsealed or weakly sealed granite will soak up oils, spills, and stains. To check whether your granite is sealed, leave a few drops of water on the surface. If it beads up, you have a secure seal. If after a few minutes the water has soaked into the granite, then it’s time to reseal the stone.

Wipe up spills as soon as you notice them, preferably with a gentle and soft fibered pad or towel, with warm water and a mild or gentle dish soap.

All You Need To Know for Granite Counter Top Care!

You just installed new granite countertops in your kitchen and we don’t blame you! You wanted the best of the best, the most elegant, but without the draining of your savings. Granite countertops are known for their attractive appearance and durability so it’s no wonder they seem to be making their way into homes and buildings all over the world. 

However, if you don’t know how to care for them, you’re likely to damage them quickly and lose their class and appeal. Over time the stone can also get scratched when you repeatedly set keys, coins or other small objects on it, or by using it as a cutting surface for food preparation.  As well, many homeowners tend to use more abrasive or caustic cleaners which can remove the original sealant and conditioning. Not only is this unattractive, but it’s a breeding ground for bacteria as scratches tend to trap in dust and dirt.

Regular care includes proper cleaning and the use of sealers to prevent staining.

Top Ingredients:

Vinegar: White vinegar is effective at dissolving grease and makes a great surface cleaner in the kitchen and bathroom. Vinegar works well because of its acidic nature and antibacterial effect. Japanese research found that the bactericidal activity of vinegar increased as the temperature of its solution increased, underscoring the need for double benefit of warm cleaning solutions. Mix 1 cup of vinegar with water in a bucket or spray bottle and use it to clean windows and mirrors to toilets and floors.

Baking Soda: Baking soda deodorizes and has an abrasive quality that out shines toxic, powdered cleansers. Use on surfaces in the bathroom and kitchen to remove stains or even clean the inside of a messy oven. Adding salt can provide a boost in scrubbing power.

Lemon Juice: The inclusion of lemon in many commercially available cleaning products is one rare area where they got it right! Lemon juice kills mold, cuts through grease, and leaves a streak-free shine. The applied food science laboratory in Lincoln Nebraska examined the ability for lemon oil to inhibit mold growth by applying a coating of lemon juice and vinegar to roast beef. This was found to support prevention of spore germination and outgrowth. Combine lemon juice with vinegar or olive oil to make compound cleaning products that work harder and provide a natural scent.

Hydrogen Peroxide: Hydrogen peroxide has a bubbling action that is amazing with hard-to-clean situations. Fill a spray bottle with a HP and water mixture, keep it near the laundry area as it can be a great spot cleaner.

Olive Oil: Polishing wood with with olive oil and lemon juice moisturizes it and provides amazing shine with a fresh scent. Blend 1 cup of olive oil and 1/2 cup of lemon juice in a spray bottle, mist onto a soft cloth and polish wood furniture the natural way.                       (reposted with gratitude from the Global Healing Center)
