Granite countertops are a beautiful highlight in many Las Vegas homes. They’re tough, stylish, and instantly upgrade your kitchen or bathroom. But to keep them shiny and spotless, you’ll need to clean them the right way.

At Cobalt Clean, we’ve helped thousands of local homeowners care for granite and other natural stone. In this guide, we’ll show you how to clean granite countertops, protect them from damage, and keep them looking amazing for years.

Why Taking Care of Granite Matters

Granite may be strong, but it’s also porous. That means if you don’t clean or seal it properly, it can absorb liquids, stain, or even grow bacteria. The good news? Daily care is quick and easy with the right routine.

Your Easy Daily Granite Cleaning Routine

What You’ll Need:

  • Soft microfiber cloth or sponge

  • Warm water

  • Mild (pH-neutral) dish soap

Step-by-Step:

  1. Wipe away crumbs and dust with a damp cloth.

  2. Mix a few drops of dish soap in warm water.

  3. Gently wipe the surface with the soapy cloth.

  4. Rinse with clean water.

  5. Dry with a clean towel to avoid streaks.

Avoid: Vinegar, bleach, ammonia, harsh chemicals, or rough scrubbers. These can ruin the seal and leave your granite looking dull.

How to Remove Stains from Granite

Even sealed granite can stain sometimes. Here’s how to tackle common trouble spots:

Grease or Oil Stains:

  • Make a paste with baking soda and water.

  • Spread it on the stain, cover with plastic wrap, and let it sit for 24 hours.

  • Wipe clean the next day.

Water Spots or Mineral Rings:

  • Use a soft cloth and a little rubbing alcohol or granite-safe cleaner.

Coffee, Wine, or Juice Stains:

  • Mix hydrogen peroxide and baking soda into a paste.

  • Apply it, cover, wait 24 hours, then rinse.

When to Reseal Your Granite

Granite usually needs sealing every 1–2 years, depending on use. Not sure if it’s time? Try the water test:

  • Drip a few drops of water on the counter.

  • If it soaks in within 5 minutes, it’s time to reseal.

Use a granite-safe sealer and follow the instructions, or let the pros at Cobalt Clean handle it for you.
