What is the key to clean granite countertops?

Firstly, there is so much disinformation on the internet even though clean granite countertops are easy to achieve. With so many cleaners in the market, how can you be sure to preserve your beautiful investment? Is it possible to guarantee for it to have a everlasting appearance? Yes and Yes! We are firm believers in spot testing. Though we have been in the industry since 2001 and have potentially tried every cleaner on the market, still we like to be safe with testing cleaners. 

What is the safest product to use on my granite countertops?

Secondly, before there were all the sprays and cans that claim they are granite safe, we always referred our customer to the simple golden solution of mild soap and warm water! This not only gets all the bacteria off of your beloved granite countertops, but it also does not cause any clash with any of the sealers on the market! It is a safe solution to use to remove basic wine spills and even those pesky spaghetti splatters that were left on your not so clean granite countertops a few nights ago.

This is not to bash any of the lovely products we have come across. There are a few that we even vouch on to get clean granite countertops, however, this will give you the clean that you are looking for without having to go to the store to pick up the specific cleaner. This leaves us all with a less stressed mom and husband who don’t have to stop at menards to pick up said cleaner before heading home.  

What is the best store bought cleaner?

Lastly, my personal long term cleaner that I have used is from a company called Rock Doctor. Even though this used to be a industry exclusive product in the recent years I have found them at Menards. Here is the link. This is certainly not a product that has been tested with every sealer with this stated please do a spot test in your own home before using liberally to achieve clean granite countertops.
