Cleaning a granite worktop is simple and easy. You should wipe down your granite kitchen worktop daily to ensure it is kept clean and to avoid grime build up. You can use warm water and soap or a mild dishwashing detergent for any stains. A mild kitchen cleaner with a microfiber cloth and some water can also be used. Buffing afterwards will help the granite surface look shiny and clear of marks.
 
For a deeper clean or for granite that have been ignored for long periods, you can use a pH neutral cleaner and degreaser to get rid of those tougher stains.
