Granite Countertops in South Florida

For daily cleaning, use warm water and a mild dish soap or a pH-neutral stone cleaner. Wipe with a soft cloth or sponge, then dry with a clean towel to avoid water spots. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, vinegar, and abrasive cleaners as these can damage the sealant and dull the surface over time.

Granite is naturally porous, so it can absorb liquids if left unsealed or if the sealant has worn off. However, when properly sealed once a year, granite is highly resistant to stains from common kitchen substances like wine, coffee, and oil. If a spill occurs, simply wipe it up promptly and your sealed granite will remain spotless.
