Cleaning a Granite Shower

Hi, I just recently moved into a new home that has a granite shower not tile. I was wondering if anyone else has had experience with cleaning one. There are very few products on the market that say it is safe to use on granite. But I was also wondering, I love the scrubbing bubbles spray stuff (I think there is another kind too) that you spray on right after your shower and it helps eleminate in between cleanings. Does anyone know of a spray like that that would be okay to use on granite! Or do you think that I still can use it? I really hate having to clean my shower and this seemed to help with our last shower! Thanks

What can I do next?

I use antibacterial fantastic lemon scent on my granite, have used it for over 8yrs, I also have a squeegie that I use after every shower, I clean every 3-4 mnths and I have had no problems with bacteria or molds, I spray a fantastic on the floor once a mnth and have a rag I throw down and use my feet to scrub, takes a minute or two, very easy, My bathroom is always smelling fresh cause the fantastic is a nice fragrance.
hope you find what works best for you.

I would start at a google. I always forget this resource. DIY.com (do it yourself). I would be concerned with pitting. Also call a local counter top manufacturer or retailer like Home-depot who deals in Granite on a regular basis. Hope this helps.

Hi J.-

I know there are products like 409 on the market that will work, but not like you describe- the spray it and leave it stuff. I would check on the internet for the closest dealer in the shower granite, then call them ( or the company that makes the stuff) and ask for recommendations. S.

At World Market there is this really awesome cleaner from Sprayway that I use on my granite countertops. It's a foam spray stuff called "Granite and Marble Cleaner". I think it's only $4.99. I use it almost every day, and I have no pitting or scratching or anything on my countertops. I'm sure that it would work just as well for showers.

I have a granite and marble shower and I use all the Shaklee "Get Clean" products on it. It cleans the shower really well and is completely safe and green. It's listed as one of Oprah's favorites and I like how it works. I liked it so much, I made it my home business. Check out my website: www.shaklee.net/denisefriedl

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I hope you find what you are looking for. Take care!

I used to work at a tile and stone supply store years ago and would recommend calling a place that specializes in stone rather than Home Depot. You may get someone there that has no idea what they are talking about whereas a store that only deals with tile and stone will definately be knowledgable about products to use. I can't remember but I don't think Scrubbing bubbles would be safe, I'd be afraid of damaging the stone. They will also have a variety of products that you can use safely. Whatever you do, don't use CLR or Lime-away or anything similar on stone.

ETA try Monterrey Tile they are out in the East Valley.

My granite guy told me not to use any granite cleaners that are on the market. My terrazo (similar, a pored marble surface) told me to use a "ph neutral" cleanser.

Try using something that's all natural like the method or seventh generation products they work great and are virtually harmless to person and surfaces.
