At CJ’s Chem-Dry, we love granite countertops for two reasons: 1.) They are perfect for making your home appear modern and chic, and 2.) They are very functional in high-traffic areas like your kitchen or bathroom. If you have granite countertops in your home, we’re sure you’ve enjoyed these benefits! However, you’ve probably also had to deal with water spots, dirt, and other grime causing your countertops to look dull.
We’re experts at granite cleaning and renewal in Anoka and Hennepin County, so we’re here to teach you how to properly clean your granite countertops!
Daily Cleaning Routine
Before you start any type of cleaning on your granite countertops, you have to make sure the granite is sealed. You will likely notice moisture getting into the pores of the granite surface if it is not sealed. If this is the case, the granite must be resealed as soon as possible to prevent any damage from occurring.
Once your granite is sealed, you can use this method to clean and clean your countertops on a daily basis:
First, use warm, soapy water and a soft rag to wipe down your countertops and then dry it with a clean cloth. Then, mix equal parts water and isopropyl alcohol in a bottle or container and apply this solution to your granite. Let it sit on the granite for around 5 minutes. From there, use warm water and a rag to wet your counter once again and then dry it with a clean cloth.
You may have seen other DIY granite cleaning solutions online, but be careful with these methods! Don’t use any type of acidic solution like ammonia, vinegar, lemon, or bleach to clean your granite. These strong chemicals can rapidly break down your granite’s protective sealant!
Deep Cleaning Routine
The best way to deep clean your granite surfaces is to get them professionally resealed and renewed. While daily cleaning helps ensure the routine cleanliness of these surfaces, the protective sealant on the granite will wear down over time. When this starts to happen, liquid, residue, dirt, and dust will start to seep deep into your granite’s porous surfaces. You don’t want any dust hiding on the surface where you cook and eat! This is why getting your granite renewed and resealed by a professional company is vital for making your countertops stay clean and durable.
*We recommend getting your granite deep cleaned by professionals about once a year.
