How (and Why) Should I Use Granite Gold Daily Cleaner?

If you’ve upgraded the style and value of your home with natural stone surfaces, you’ll need to raise the game of your cleaning products too. 

Because of the harsh chemicals they contain, regular sprays, soaps and polishes can damage natural stone. Instead, you’ll want to make the switch to a cleaner that is safe on natural stones to better protect your natural stone counters, showers, and more. 

In this blog, we’ll explore the benefits and use cases of our popular and versatile Granite Gold® Daily Cleaner. 

What Makes Granite Gold® Daily Cleaner So Special?

A properly sealed and regularly polished natural stone surface is extremely resilient to dirt, grease, and stains. As such, there’s no need for an abrasive, aggressive cleaner to keep it sparkling and fresh. 

Some of the key dangers of using aggressive, abrasive cleaners on natural stone surfaces can include:

• Surface damage: Abrasive cleaners can scratch, etch, and dull the surface of natural stones like marble, granite, and limestone. This compromises the smooth, polished finish and makes the surface more susceptible to staining and etching.
• Discoloration: The harsh chemicals in some cleaners can actually discolor or disintegrate the sealant/finish on the stone, leading to an uneven, blotchy appearance. Many conventional cleaners contain ammonia, bleach and other chemicals that can permanently damage the protective seal and shine on your natural stone surface. 
• Erosion: Over time, repeated use of aggressive cleaners can gradually erode and break down the stone surface, causing pitting, cracking, and deterioration.
• Penetration of dirt/stains: When the sealant is damaged, it allows dirt, grease, and stains to more easily penetrate into the porous stone material, making it much harder to clean.
• Health hazards: Many commercial stone cleaners contain harsh chemicals like acids, alkalines, and solvents that can be harmful if inhaled or touched. This poses a safety risk to anyone using or exposed to these cleaners.

The best approach is to use pH-neutral, non-abrasive cleaners specifically formulated for natural stone surfaces. These cleaners gently lift dirt and grime without damaging the sealant or stone itself. Regular polishing and resealing are also crucial for maintaining the beauty and integrity of natural stone over time.

Our multi-purpose Daily Cleaner gently yet effectively breaks down surface dirt and sanitizes your surfaces. You can use it as often as you like without worrying about it damaging surrounding surfaces. 

As a rule of thumb, we recommend spraying our Daily Cleaner and then wiping down the surface with our Granite Gold® Daily Cleaner Cloth.

As a family-made product from stone care experts, you can trust our Daily Cleaner to safely clean and protect all your natural stone and quartz surfaces.

How Do I Use The Daily Cleaner?

Properly caring for natural stone surfaces is crucial to preserving their timeless beauty. A well-sealed and regularly polished stone surface is incredibly resilient against dirt, grease, and stains–no need for harsh, abrasive cleaners.

For an easy, effective cleaning routine, start with Granite Gold Daily Cleaner®. Follow up by applying Granite Gold Sealer® to provide an invisible protective barrier. Be sure to wipe the sealer into the stone and then buff it until dry. You can safely polish the freshly sealed surface just 24 hours later with our Granite Gold® Polish. Polishing is especially beneficial for shower walls to prevent stubborn soap scum buildup. Just be sure to avoid polishing floors, as this can make the surface dangerously slippery.

Tips for Bathroom Cleaning with Daily Cleaner

Our Daily Cleaner isn’t just for kitchen surfaces. The bathroom is another place where natural stone care is essential to preserving the integrity of your home. 

With high humidity, soap residue, and hard water spots, the luster can quickly fade from bathroom surfaces if they aren’t given careful, regular attention. 

Thankfully, our Daily Cleaner is safe on bathroom stone surfaces as well as sinks, toilets and showers. The Daily Cleaner can also help with water stains, a recurring issue in the bathroom. As with your kitchen surfaces, seal and polish at regular intervals to stop moisture accumulating and damaging the protective seal on your stone. 

Because the Daily Cleaner is pH-balanced and leaves a streak-free finish on any surface, you won’t have to check for smears or dull spots on your natural stone. Instead, you and your guests can enjoy the lingering luster you get from just a single application.
