Granite Countertops
- pH-Neutral Cleaner: Use a pH-neutral cleaner specifically designed for natural stone, or a mix of mild dish soap and water.
- Sealing: Periodically reseal granite countertops to maintain their stain resistance. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for sealing frequency.
- Immediate Spill Cleanup: Blot spills immediately, especially acidic substances like wine, coffee, or citrus juices, to prevent staining.
Quartz Countertops
- Non-Abrasive Cleaner: Clean with a non-abrasive, non-acidic cleaner. Avoid using abrasive pads or scrubbers.
- Avoid Heat and Chemicals: Keep hot pots, pans, and strong chemicals away from quartz surfaces to avoid damage.
- Gentle Scrubbing: For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth or sponge with a mild detergent solution. Rinse well and dry.
Marble Countertops
- pH-Neutral Cleaner: Use a pH-neutral cleaner or a mix of mild dish soap and water. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners.
- Frequent Sealing: Marble is porous and should be sealed regularly to prevent staining and etching.
- Blot, Don't Wipe: Blot spills immediately to prevent them from penetrating the surface. Wiping can spread the spill and cause more damage.
