There are simple yet effective ways to clean your new countertops without risking damage. To preserve the surface, avoid using harsh cleaners that can dull the finish or damage any sealant applied. Keep the process simple with the following steps:

​​​​

​

Items Needed:​

• Soft cloth or sponge

• Bucket or large bowl

• Neutral dishwashing liquid (Dawn dish soap)

• Warm water

• Microfiber cloth

• Natural stone or granite cleaner if applicable (oil-free)

​​​​

​​​​

Cleaning Process:​

1. Add a few drops of dishwashing liquid to the bucket or large bowl of warm water and mix until suds form.

2. Wet a sponge or cloth with the soapy water and thoroughly wipe the granite surface.

3. Rinse the sponge or cloth with plain hot water and wipe away any soapy residue. If streaks or dullness appear, there may still be soap residue. Rinse again with hot water, wring out excess water, and wipe the surface once more to remove any remaining residue.

4. Dry the surface with a microfiber cloth.

5. Periodically clean your countertops to maintain the life and beauty of your stone.

Additional Tips and Advice:​

• Although most stone is hard and scratch-resistant, it is not recommended to cut directly on it. If a scratch occurs, it’s best to consult a professional for repairs.

• Always use coasters under glasses to prevent stains and rings.

• Avoid letting citrus or alcohol products sit on the natural stone countertops, as they can cause etching and dulling.

• Protect your countertops by using trivets or hot pads for hot items.
