Enjoy immaculate granite surfaces with our help
Whether you have gone for a granite worktop, splashback, cladding or something else, The Little Granite Kitchen Shop’s aftercare guide is suitable for all granite applications.
We are committed to helping you enjoy your investment for as long as possible and in order to do that there are a number of steps and actions we’d recommend to keep your granite looking its best.
Cleaning your granite
Use a neutral cleaner (pH7) to avoid damaging the surface. Quality cleaners are available in hardware stores and online. You can also use washing up liquid with water
To clean drainage grooves, use 000 grade, non-oiled wire
You can use cloths suitable for cleaning glass and stainless steel
Ensure any soap residue or hard water is wiped away immediately
To maximise shine, household furniture polish can be used occasionally
Avoid acidic cleaners and other acidic products (nail polish remover, oven cleaner, degreasers)
Granite worktops and cooking
To prevent damage we would recommend preparing food on a chopping board, and using stands for hot pans
Avoid getting acidic food and drink (e.g. wine, vinegar, fruit juices) on the surface
Stain prevention
Clean quickly to prevent staining
Should your worktop be stained, lacquer thinner or acetone can be used, but only if necessary.
To enhance longevity, we recommend resealing your worktop annually.
