Help with Cleaning Granite Countertops

Hi D., I clean houses and I use a product called LOC Soft Scrub. Besides doing a great job it is gentle on surfaces and biodegradable.

I get it at a web site: www.we-us.mychoices.biz

(With a $75 order you get free shipping)

It has a money back gaurantee also. I love shopping there and use the cleaning products whenever I clean a house.

There is a wonderful series of cleaners that work on Corian and Granite. I rent my home and my landlord said to only use that cleaner on the counters. It is put out by Stone Care International. Their number is (800) 839-1654 and the website is www.stonecare.com

Good luck in your situation.

Hi D., One of the things I love to use to clean my granite counter tops and natural stone floors ect. Is a steamer you can get at Bed Bath & Beyond and Linen & Things
They have a hand held one by SHARP and it does a great job. I love and clean with a steamer all the time. Just make sure you take a 20%off coupon we get in the mail.

I've also tried finding things that can be used on the counters with chemicals being a no-no..and finally I found at Ralf's is GRANITE GOLD daily cleaner and then a polisher. other stores like VON's and Albertsons also started carring another granite cleaners. Home depot also has some finally on and Bed Bath and Beyond too. Anyway if you just use one of the daily cleaners you can spray it on there and just let it sit for awhile it should wipe off pretty easily. It eaven helps those spots that whater has been left on and makes the area darker then the rest. Oh, and the granite cleaners are in a spray and I've found near the top shelf of the stores in the cleaning isle.
You could also look up some natural remedies or I'm sure you'll get more replies with some which I'll come back here to look.

Good luck!

Try a prodict called "Granite Gold". They make weekly cleaner, daily cleaner and wipes. Bed, Bath and Beyond carries them. I have also seen it at Ralphs and sometimes Costco. If that doesn't work, I would seriously consider bringing in a professional to clean it up and reseal the counters. If you are able to get the water spots off yourself, then seal the counters. If they are properly sealed you should not be having this problem. 511 Impregnator is a good product for sealing. Counters should be sealed bewteen every year and two years. If water does not bead up on it, it probably needs sealing. I know as I write this, I need to seal my own. Good luck.

Granite Gold is good and so is Countertop Magic. You can get it at Costco. It works great. Shines and cleans at the same time. I spray it on, wipe off, then flip the towel over and use the dry side to shine.

Just be sure to read labels as somethings could damage it. Good luck.

Hi D.! I shop with a company that makes products that are safer for the home, family, and the environment, and, the best part is, their products are less expensive than what you can buy in the stores as well. I would love to tell you more about it, as I have been shopping with them for four years.

Let me know!

Hi D.! There are some great cleaning products from the LOC (liquid organic cleaners)line that are not only fabulous cleaning products but totally green and safe for your household! I know for myself, I've got my little guy running around and am glad to know that the surfaces he's in contact with are safe for him. One of the products (the multipurpose cleaner) should be safe for your granite tops. I've put a link where you can find the product as well as pasted the description of it! Hope this helps!
