Granite is a popular choice for kitchen and bathroom countertops due to its durability, resistance to scratches and stains, and easy maintenance. However, cleaning a granite surface plate can be challenging if you don’t know the proper techniques and products to use.
To effectively clean your granite surface plate, follow these steps:
- Prepare your work area by removing debris and clutter from the surface and wearing protective gear such as gloves and eye protection.
- Use a cleaning solution such as water and vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, or commercial granite cleaners. For everyday cleaning, mix equal parts water and white vinegar in a spray bottle or use a small amount of hydrogen peroxide on a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, a commercial granite cleaner may be necessary.
- Apply the cleaning solution to the surface of the granite plate, making sure to cover the entire area evenly and gently scrub with a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse the cloth frequently with clean water to avoid spreading dirt and grime.
- Dry the surface with a clean, dry towel and let it air dry completely to prevent water from seeping into the stone and causing damage.
Remember to avoid using abrasive cleaners or brushes, harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia, and to clean your granite surface at least once a week. You can use a steam cleaner on your granite surface, but make sure to use it on the lowest setting and keep the nozzle moving to avoid damaging the stone.
