Granite Cleaning Services from Stone Doctor’s Finest Professionals
Recently, granite has become one of the more popular choices of stone being used in households. Whether it be countertops, splashbacks, island benches or other types of surfaces, granite has proven to be more durable, sturdy, and overall, more reliable compared to other natural stone. Its diamondlike hardness and strong resistance to acids has made it exceed marble and limestone in many instances. It is crucial to maintain their radiance and longevity by proper care and essential maintenance techniques. One very important aspect of maintenance is granite cleaning. We will focus on the practices and proper care that should be used when it comes to granite cleaning.
What is Granite?
Granite is an igneous rock, formed from the cooling and solidifying of magma deep within the Earth’s crust. It is one of the harder types of stone and its unique composition and properties make it a strong and resilient material for stone surfaces. However, although granite is strong and sturdy, it is not immune after all. Granite is still susceptible to spills, staining, and general wear and tear. Therefore, it is essential to preserve its beauty by adopting the proper techniques and knowledge when it comes to granite cleaning.
The Importance of Granite Cleaning
Regular granite cleaning helps to keep your surfaces looking astonishing and refreshed. It also helps to keep the stone in great condition and increases longevity. Without proper care and maintenance practices, your granite surfaces can dull over time, gather various stains and marks, and grow weak in general. By learning the correct knowledge and incorporating good granite cleaning techniques, you will be able to protect its charm and preserve the elegance of your granite surfaces for many years.
Do’s and Don’ts When It Comes To Granite Cleaning
When it comes to granite cleaning, there are many things you should do, and things to avoid.
Do's:
- Use a pH-balanced cleaner, or a specialised stone cleaning product, for example Lithofin MN Easy-Clean.Try to avoid harsh chemicals.
- Use microfibre cloths when cleaning your granite surfaces, or other types of soft cloths.
- Wipe up spills immediately.
- Make sure you are regularly cleaning and dusting your granite surfaces.
- Make sure to seal your granite surfaces. We recommend using a water-based sealer, as solvent based sealers may unintentionally enhance the colour of your granite.
Don'ts:
- Anything with ammonia or bleach should be avoided.
- Try to avoid using or spilling acidic substances, for example vinegar, commercial cleaners, lemon juice and so on. Although granite is resistant to acids to a degree, we would recommend keeping these acidic substances away. If you are wanting to use acidic cleaners, we would recommend seeking out specific acidic stone cleaning products suitable for granite.
- Try to avoid using harsh abrasive pads, scouring pads, coarse steel wool and so on. Although granite is an incredibly tough stone, it can still be scratched by many things.

Like granite, bluestone and sandstone have become extremely popular choices being used for floor and wall tiles, whether it be internally or externally. Bluestone is strong and durable, cost-effective, easy to install and easy to maintain. Sandstone is also durable and a hardy stone, making it the perfect option for outdoor areas, as it excels due to its toughness. All three types of stone are extremely durable and often used in high-traffic areas. Hence, they need to be maintained and properly looked after with care.
