My husband and I are buying a house and in the kitchen there are granite counters. Up until now I have not had granite and I've been wondering the best way to clean them. Normally I love 409 and use it daily in the kitchen, keeping my counters perfectly clean. I have been reading about caring for granite and already know that I cannot use my beloved 409 or even Windex on the granite since these cleaners can dull the surface and even cause pitting. I did read that hot water, or hot soapy water is best. I also read that a spray bottle with 1/4 cup of isopropyl alcohol, couple drops of dishsoap, and the rest water is a good cleaning solution and helps keep the counters clean. I wasn't sure if this is correct or if there is something else out there I can use.
I'm wondering what everyone else out there with granite counters uses to clean them and keep them shiny and beautiful? My husband likes to cook and leaves messy counters. Normally I can spray 409 and leave on for a few minutes, wipe away and everything looks beautiful. Is there something else out there that works the same way on granite? I attached a picture...the counters have a shiny surface and are sort of golden brown in color.
Thanks for any help!
