At Diamond Floor Cleaning, we understand the importance of maintaining the beauty and durability of your home's surfaces, including your granite countertops.
That's why we've compiled a comprehensive granite countertop maintenance plan with product links for your granite countertops to ensure they remain in top condition.
Granite Countertop Maintenance Plan & Products
Daily Maintenance:
- Wipe down your granite countertop surface with a soft cloth or sponge after each use. This will help remove any spills or food residue that may have accumulated.
- Use a cutting board when chopping, slicing, or dicing food. Avoid cutting directly on the countertop surface, as it can cause scratches and damage.
- Avoid placing hot pans or dishes directly on the countertop. Use trivets or heat-resistant pads to protect the surface from heat damage.
Weekly Maintenance:
- Clean the countertop with a pH-neutral cleaner. I recommend ZEP Neutral ph Floor Cleaner in a spray bottle. One gallon makes 64 gallons of concentrate, so it's very economical.
- Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaners that can damage the surface. Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the countertop and dry it thoroughly after cleaning.
- Check for any stains, chips, or cracks. If you find any, immediately clean them and contact a professional to repair them.
Monthly Maintenance:
- Deep clean the countertop to remove any buildup or residue that may have accumulated over time. Use a Stone Pro Stone & Glass and a white scrub pad.
- Apply Barrier sealant every six months to protect the surface from stains and damage. The sealant creates a barrier between the surface and any spills or moisture that may come into contact with it.
Yearly Maintenance:
- Schedule a professional inspection to check for any damage or wear and tear that may have occurred. A professional can assess the condition of your countertop and recommend any necessary repairs or maintenance.
- Consider having the countertop professionally polished to restore its shine and luster. This can help remove any scratches or stains that have developed over time.
