How to clean granite countertops

To clean granite countertops, use a mixture of warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap, applying it with a soft cloth or sponge.

To effectively clean your granite countertops, start by gathering your materials: a soft cloth or sponge, warm water, and a few drops of a mild dish soap. Mix the soap with the warm water and gently wipe down the surface. Be sure to avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads, as they can scratch the granite. For tougher stains, you can use a mixture of baking soda and water to form a paste; apply it to the stain and let it sit for several hours before wiping it away. Additionally, regular sealing of your granite surfaces can help protect against stains and preserve their shine, so make it a habit to check the sealant every year. Finally, always dry the countertops with a soft, dry cloth to prevent water spots and maintain that beautiful luster.
