Safer For You, Safe for Granite and Quartz Many products today that claim to be safe for use on granite are not. Granite is a resilient surface, but can be damaged by some acids, ammonia, and other chemicals in popular cleaners, which can damage your health as well as your stone. More than that, most other granite cleaners leave a residue that builds up over time nor do they remove all the oils which leave a residue that also builds over time. This results in a dull appearance causing most people to seek polishes to restore the shine. This frequently results in even further damage to the granite as in a countertop it rarely needs to truly be polished. Healthier for You & Your Family Many common cleaning products on the market today have unhealthy chemical fumes that are not safe for you, your pets and children. Marblelife’s  Granite Countertop Cleaner is free from chemical smells. More importantly, most cleaners do not remove the oils and grease trapped within the pores of your granite kitchen countertop or bathroom vanity. This allows oils and grease to become rancid and breed bacteria that is unhealthy for your family.

About Granite Countertops Granite and quartz are beautiful and resilient surfaces popular in kitchen countertops and bathroom vanities.  They are popular because of their beautiful natural appearance as well as their durability.  Both surfaces occur naturally in the earth and are polished to a high shine.  Yet they both still have very small pores and crevasses that can trap oils and debris that can result in a dull appearance. Both surfaces are resistant to scratches, burns and stains yet can be scratched or burnt in severe cases.  Stains, however, occur more easily and can be at times troublesome to get out.  For this reason, it is highly recommended that you seal your granite and quartz to help reduce the likelihood of stains. Common Mistakes Cleaning Granite Countertops There are many common mistakes caring for granite and quartz.  Some of these are using vinegar, bleach, alcohol, dish soap, only water, glass cleaners and other cleaning products.  We have assembled additional information regarding each of these that may be found in the “Quick Tips” section of our Homeowner University. Some of these can cause directly can damage your stone and others fail to do the job resulting in an unhealthy surface or you attempting other more severe methods of cleaning or polishing that could damage your stone or result in spending money that you didn’t need to.  Please take a minute to review some of these Quick Tips so that you can have a better understanding of how to care for your granite or quartz and can avoid some of these very common pitfalls. The Proper Care of & Cleaning Granite & Quartz Step 1 “Cleaning Granite” – Cleaning is the first and most important step in caring for Granite and Quartz.  Making sure to use a granite cleaner that is both safe to not damage your stone as well a one that will remove the oils that get trapped in the pores.  Additionally, your cleaner should not leave a residue.  Marblelife’s cleaner is not the only product that is safe and effective. It’s just that over 25 years of worldwide service of natural stone, this is the best we have experienced and what we use. Step 2 “Sealing Granite” – Sealing your granite or quartz is the second and next most important step in caring for your granite and quartz.  Sealing your granite or quartz provides both protection against stains and helps make step one cleaning easier for you.  Since harmful oils and some substances can stain your beautiful stone, it is important to use a very high-quality sealer. A high-quality granite countertop sealer should help keep out damaging oils and substances that would otherwise stain your beautiful countertop or vanity top.  By applying a granite sealer, you also help make daily cleaning quicker and easier.  Sealing your granite or quartz should be done in most cases annually and in high use / high traffic areas, maybe twice a year.  MARBLELIFE Granite Countertop Sealer is an extremely high-quality sealer that makes sealing your countertop affordable, quick and easy. Step 3 “Polishing Granite” – This step is not actually polishing granite since this would actually take the use of professional honing pads and a professional’s experience.  The best part is, that in many cases, when someone insists that their granite needs to be polished, it only needs to have the residue removed.  This can easily be done by you with Marblelife Granite & Quartz Countertop Cleaner and by following the direction below. After cleaning and sealing granite the only remaining step may be applying a gloss conditioner such as MARBLELIFE’s Granite Countertop Gloss Conditioner.  The truth is that a good portion of granite and quartz will not take a gloss conditioner or “polish”.  The best way to see if your granite will take a gloss conditioner is to try one like Marblelife’s to see if you get a noticeable improvement.  If you do than simply as often or as seldom as you prefer to add that richer wetter look.  If there is no noticeable difference, then you can save yourself the trouble of trying different products because your granite is too dense to accept anything safe that would enhance it’s appearance.

Repairing Granite or Quartz – You can now see that caring for your granite or quartz is simple, yet care must be taken to use the right products and procedures to ensure its best appearance.  Should your stone have cracks, scratches, and other damage or require any service beyond that described above, it is recommended that you contact your local Marblelife Service Professional for the best care possible. Directions: MARBLELIFE Granite Countertop Cleaner Daily Cleaning – Since this granite cleaner works like a liquid sponge, first determine how much “stuff” you are about to clean off.  This will absorb the oils and grease so if the is little to no oil film then just a simple spray, wipe and buff dry is all that is needed for a beautiful streak-free shine.  If there is more oil or grease use more cleaner and rub thoroughly with a rag to loosen up the grease and lift it up into your rag.  In this case it’s best to after wiping off give another light spray, wipe and buff dry to assure that all the oily residue is completely removed from your countertop.  Using a microfiber towel helps to make for an even better experience in reaching a quick easy streak-free shine. Why Buff Dry? – The importance of buffing dry is this.  This is a high-powered degreaser that is extremely safe for your granite and quartz.  The way it works is by absorbing the oils into itself.  For this reason, after cleaning the surface the cleaner is now carrying debris.  Buffing dry assures that all the now contaminated cleaner is removed from the surface, leaving a wonderful streak-free shine. Heavy Grease Cleaning – In cases where there is a significant amount of grease, such as after cooking bacon or frying, simply use more cleaner and perhaps a second application.  You’ll need to provide enough cleaner to adequately absorb all the grease from the surface.  After removing all the grease from the surface, use a light spray, wipe and buff dry to finish with a beautiful, healthy, streak-free shine. Removing Stains – There are many different types of granite and quartz with various degrees of porousness and many types of substances that could stain the stone.  Therefore, there are just as many techniques for removing stains.  The simplest way to remove simple stains is to use Marblelife Granite Countertop Cleaner.  Clean area thoroughly first with this cleaner then stray a puddle of this same cleaner over the stain and let if soak for about 10 minutes.  After allowing to soak scrub with a tooth brush and wipe off with a microfiber towel.  This should resolve most simple, light stains.
