So you just invested in granite countertops, now what? They
look great, but you may not be quite sure how to take care of them. Don’t
worry! For those living in Eden
Prairie, granite countertops are easy to maintain. That’s one of the
reasons why you chose them, right? In this blog, we’re going to cover the
basics of keeping your granite countertops clean and well maintained.
Granite Countertop
Cleaning
You should wipe down your countertops after every use. This
helps prevent stains, as well as keep your granite countertops sanitary. No
intense scrubbing will be needed for this type of routine cleaning. Just a damp
cloth and a little bit of soap will do the trick. Take the damp cloth and
gently wipe up your countertops, focusing on any trouble areas.
Cleaning Stains
If you do happen to come across a stain on your Eden Prairie
countertops, cleanup is fairly simple. First, you’ll need
to gather a few supplies to properly clean your granite countertops in Eden
Prairie. Most of the supplies are common household items that you may already
have on hand. The supplies include:
·
Small bucket
·
Dishwashing liquid
·
Sponge, or soft cloth
·
Microfiber cloth
·
Natural stone cleaner
Once you get all these together, you’ll be ready to get
started on removing that stain from your Eden Prairie Countertops. Fill your
bucket with warm water, and add your dishwashing liquid. Mix up the water and
dishwashing liquid until suds form. Once your water is nice and sudsy, apply it
to the countertop at the trouble area with your sponge. Make sure the entire
stain is covered. Then, rinse out your sponge and mop up all the suds. Repeat
this process several times. You should notice the stain stating to lighten up.
Once the stain is completely removed, apply some natural stone cleaner to add some
extra shine.
