Steps

Learn how to clean granite and gloss up your granite counters with Pine-Sol cleaner. Clean and disinfect granite like an expert.

  1. Step 1 Brush or sweep away dust, dirt or food crumbs.
  2. Step 2 Dilute ⅛ cup of Pine-Sol® in a gallon of warm water.
  3. Step 3 Wipe down granite with a sponge or mop soaked in the solution.
  4. Step 4 Scrub stubborn stains with full strength Pine-Sol®. Use a cleaning brush or plastic scrub pad rather than a harsh scouring pad, which can scratch unsealed granite.
  5. Step 5 Wipe down with water using a microfiber cloth to keep your granite streak-free.

    TIP: Remember to wipe up spills on unsealed granite floors as soon as possible, and to reseal your granite countertops as recommended by your installation care guide.

With an improved concentrated formula that is 2x as strong* to last 2x as long*, you can use less for the same great clean.
