3 Steps to Beautiful Granite

websitebuilder • Jul 10, 2020

Granite is known to be one of the densest and hardest natural stones available. 

It’s very low in maintenance and only requires routine cleaning. 

Here are 3 TIPS to keep your granite looking beautiful:

1.  Use mild detergent and tap water only, rinse thoroughly.

2.  For stubborn spots, apply a household mild, non-abrasive cleanser with neutral pH on a damp cloth, again rise thoroughly.

3.  Although granite is extremely hard and, therefore, scratch resistant, it’s not scratch proof.  DO NOT cut or chop directly on your countertop, always use a cutting board.
