To maintain the beauty of your granite for years to come, just refer to the following tips.

• Dust surfaces frequently.

• Blot up spills immediately.

• Clean your stone surface with a few drops of neutral cleaner, stone soap, or mild dishwashing liquid and warm water. 

• 3-In-1 Spray Cleaner Ready to use spray cleaner for all stone and ceramic kitchen tops 113M – Professional Quality for Natural Stone and Terrazzo Cleans, Polishes, Protects Clean, fresh smell Provides elegant gloss Also for polished metals Call 1-877-GO-GRANITE to purchase a can.

  Use a soft, clean rag to clean the granite. 

• Be sure to rinse after washing with the soap solution and dry with a soft, clean cloth. 

• Take care to not use too much soap, as this may leave a film and cause streaks.

• Refrain from using products that contain lemon, vinegar or other acids to prevent scratches on the granite. 

• Avoid using scouring powders or creams which may scratch the surface of granite due to their harsh abrasives. 

• Don't mix bleach and ammonia; this combination creates a toxic and lethal gas.

• For granite in bathrooms - To minimize soap scum, a squeegee should be used after use of granite bathroom surfaces.  If a soap-scum
  remover is used, it should be non-acidic.
