Granite cleaning processes vary based on the surface condition and type of dirt, oil, or other contaminant being removed. Granite is easier to keep clean with periodic professional deep cleaning services which utilize non-acidic, highly-effective cleaning solutions. We can assist you in not only cleaning your granite surfaces, but in keeping your granite properly polished, maintained, and free of scratches to help make regular cleaning and care of your stone easier.
Some common granite cleaning misconceptions
- Clean and shine products protect your granite – this is false! In order to provide a shine, these typical products contain oil or wax and will leave a soil-attracting residue. This allows dirt and grime to bond with the oil or wax and makes it more difficult to remove. Only professional granite cleaning will typically remove larger build-up without damaging the granite.
- You should clean your granite with soap and water – we don’t recommend using heavy detergents on granite as they can leave a residue and soap streaks behind.
- You should clean your granite with water only – typical tap water does contain minerals and other contaminants that can dull the shine. All granite cleaning solutions use purified or distill water in them so those minerals are removed.
- Acids can cause granite to dull – this is actually not true! One of the reasons people choose granite over marble beyond cost is it’s durability to withstand acid etching. While acids do damage softer stones like marble, vinegar, lemons, and limes will not dull the shine.
After your professional granite cleaning, you should have it sealed
In the next phase we apply a small amount of our Granite Countertop Sealer. Our sealer will dry in 3-5 minutes, not hours. The Sealer penetrates the granite surface leaving you with a powerful layer of protection for your countertops.
