Easy Does It on Granite
Granite needs a little TLC to keep looking so gorgeous. So steer clear of abrasive cleaners, which can dull its finish, and use Pine-Sol® to gloss up and clean your granite.
Instructions
Brush or sweep away dust, dirt or food crumbs.
Dilute ¼ cup of Pine-Sol® in a gallon of warm water.
Wipe down granite with a sponge or mop soaked in the solution.
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.
Wipe down with water using a microfiber cloth to keep your granite streak-free.
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.
