Here are the top 5 granite countertop maintenance products you should use. But why do you need these products? In fact, what you read about care and maintenance of natural stone countertops can be misleading.
For example, you should never clean granite tops with dishwashing soap or glass cleaner. And not all granite needs to be sealed. Also, you can actually ruin quartz countertops with alkaline cleaners.
Top 5 Granite Countertop Maintenance Products
Recommended Granite Sealer
Granite and natural stone tops usually need to be sealed to protect from stains. And a quality sealer can protect countertops from 3 – 10 years. So here are penetrating sealers that do not prevent a stain, but rather keep the stain from setting in. Stain cleaning is very easy when a penetrating sealer has been used.
Recommended Granite Cleaners
Do not clean your marble, granite, or limestone tops with dish soap. Instead, clean natural stone counters daily with a pH neutral stone cleaner. Here are two proven performers.
Granite Soap Film & Mineral Remover
A major reason for stone countertops losing their shine is because of soap film and soap scum build up. This often results from cleaning counters with dishwashing soap and not rinsing it off.
Maintenance of your granite tops should include a periodic “scrub” with soap film remover.
Granite Stain Remover
Removing stains from granite countertops can be as easy as spraying the tops with an oxygenated stone cleaner. For tough stains, you may need a stain removal poultice product. Learn more about stain removal from stone tops.
Disinfectant for Countertops
With concerns about Covid and disinfecting surfaces to protect people, it’s now more important than ever to disinfect surfaces in your home.
You should disinfect kitchen countertops and work surfaces, as well as bathroom tops and fixtures.
Recommended Quartz Countertop Maintenance Products
You can clean quartz tops with Windex or Dawn dish soap. Both are pH neutral and Windex will evaporate leaving no film or streaks. Here are other recommended quartz maintenance products.
Stone Glow has optical brighteners providing more shine after cleaning. And for conveniently cleaning granite or quartz tops, try some wipes. Stone Wipes are specially made for natural stone but work great on quartz. Simply wipe the counter and throw it away.
Silestone Recommended Maintenance Products
VIM® Actifizz® fizzes away dirt with effervescent technology. It’s the recommended cleaner for Silestone tops.
Q-Action is formulated to work well on quartz. It deep cleans your counters and removes stains such as wine, juice, oil, and markers. It contains self-drying components for a streak free shine.
