Caring for Granite Slab

 

To keep granite looking its best, it needs a little care. As mentioned, one of its many benefits is that it requires minimal maintenance.

• Daily cleaning tips: dampen a chamois or microfiber cloth in some soapy water. A mild hand or dish soap is best. Use this cloth to wipe down granite countertops, tabletops, backsplashes and any other granite surface to keep it clean.
• Weekly or monthly cleaning tips: every once in a while, when necessary, use a granite stone cleaning product on all your granite surfaces. Granite cleaners will give your surfaces a deeper clean, but make sure it’s a neutral pH-balance product, otherwise it could contain damaging chemicals and abrasives that can actually scratch and tarnish your granite.
