Granite countertops bring beauty, functionality, and value to any home. Granite is a natural stone product so it requires special care to protect and keep it looking great.
To clean a splatter or spill, first remove the dried-on food with a razor blade or wipe the spill. Then wet the surface with your usual granite cleaner. Use a soft sponge to wipe, then buff dry to a shine with a soft cloth.
Whatever you do, absolutely DO NOT clean granite with acidic ingredients such as vinegar, lemon juice, or lime juice, etc.
Other things to avoid are abrasive products such as scrubs and steel wool pads, products containing bleach, degreasing substances, and ammonia.
