How do you clean a granite kitchen sink?

Answer 1

According to a website of fine sinks and baths, clean a granite sink by using a soapy nylon brush in circular motions. Rinsing and drying is very important in avoiding film build-up. Never use abrasive cleaning products.

Answer 2

Soap and water with a soft cloth will clean nearly all stains with no trouble. Do not use bleach or other harsh cleaners. Once a week or so use a cleaner made specifically for granite to keep soap film from building up.

Answer 3

The best way to clean granite countertops is with a soapy sponge. Then rinse the sponge completely and wipe away all soap. Once all the soap is removed, then dry and buff with a dry towel.

Never use abrasive cleansers or ammonia on granite.

Be sure to have your granite sealed every 1 to 2 years.

Answer 4

A good daily spray cleaner works great on granite countertops. Be sure to read the ingredients and avoid any cleaner with vinegar; vinegar may cause etching in your beautiful countertop. The orange based cleaners are not great for granite because of the acid. Most home improvement or hardware stores carry spray granite cleaners. World Market even carries granite countertop cleaner.

Answer 5

In order to clean granite floors, use the dry dust mop first. This helps in removing dirt which causes scratches. With a bucket full of hot water, pour some mild dish detergent to form soapy water for a more efficient cleaning. Next, dip the rag mop into the mixture and then use it to sweep the floor. Wring out water from the mop right before using it to sweep the floor. It is always a good idea to start at the corners and then make your way towards the center of the floor. Once done, you can unfill the dirty water and rinse the bucket and fill again with hot clean water and then start sweeping the floor. Once these steps are done, next you can leave the floor to dry out completely and avoid walking until its dry.
