White granites are not actually in “white color”, it’s often mixed with different colors which enhance versatility of granite. On white granite, stains and scratches will be more visible but that doesn’t mean you can’t keep it clean and beautiful like it was when newly added in your home.

 Here are 10 phenomenal ways to keep your white granite immaculate.

  1. Granite is used as bench tops, splash tops and mainly as kitchen tops which is prone to the risk of spillage (of wine, coffee to tomato sauce) and produce huge stains. That’s why it’s crucial to use bloated cloth which will not spread the liquid further. Then use soft cloth in hot water to clean it up nicely.
  2. Steer clear of using soap or common dishwater those will diminish the shine. Instead, use cleaners which are predominantly made for cleaning granite.
  3. Don’t use coarse or scruffy brushes, cleaning pads or sponges on counters because it will cause small scratches on countertops.
  4. Using sharp equipment on granite without proper care will make permanent damage. So, it’s better if used thick chopping board for cutting and for other works to elude the risk of scratching any area.
  5. Use coaster to avoid staining when you are drinking around the kitchen tops, also to remain proactive while working in the kitchen it will be best if we clean immediately to keep away stains.
  6. Abstain sitting or standing on the countertops, because due to our weight and force exert on single part of the kitchen top will damage or crack the granite.
  7. Don’t put hot pans or pots on the stand because it will leave difficult and nasty mark on the tops of kitchen. It’s best to put it on trivet or hot pads and avoid damaging the granite.
  8. Don’t use vinegar, ammonia, lemon or orange based cleaners to clean the stains on granite. The powders and even the soft based creams will scratch and dull the surface. Don’t put non- injurious chemicals like nail remover, nail polish, colognes or perfumes on white granites because they are abrasive in nature and will create scratches and subdue the surface.
  9. Mix rubbing alcohol with water and sterilize the counter, pour one part of water and one part of 91% alcohol and mix it together by shaking the solution in a bottle. Then spray it on the surface and wipe it with soft clean cloth.
  10. Reseal the granite surface of your kitchen tops. Put few drops of water on the surface if the water beads then it doesn’t need resealing but it doesn’t bead then it is time for you to reseal it. Sealing prevents from bacteria and keep stains on the surface, which allow us to clean it. We should check the need of reseal every year, so we should be prepared.
