Stone worktops are a luxurious addition to any kitchen, but they require proper care to maintain their elegance and durability. Here we explain how to clean your stone worktops. Let's dive into some simple yet effective stone care tips that will have your countertops gleaming in no time.
The Magic of Warm, Soapy Water
One of the most underrated secrets to cleaning stone your worktops is using warm, soapy water. This simple solution is gentle yet effective at removing dirt and grime without damaging the stone surface. To get started, mix some mild dish soap with warm water and dip a soft cloth or sponge into the solution. Gently scrub the countertop, focusing on any stubborn stains.
Once you've cleaned the countertop, don't forget to buff it off with a tea towel to prevent streaks or water spots. This method is not only cost-effective but also eco-friendly, making it a win-win for both your wallet and the environment.
Say No to Expensive Cleaners
It's easy to get lured by fancy, expensive cleaners promising to give you the perfect shine. However, many of these cleaners contain harsh chemicals that can do more harm than good to your stone worktops. Opting for natural, DIY cleaning solutions is not only safer but also ensures the longevity of your countertops.
If you have the unfortunate event of a stubborn mark not remove with warm soapy water CIF cream can also be very useful. I do not recommend this unless needed. If you use CIF constantly it will create a waxy layer. Leaving your worktops look hazy.
If none of these methods above solve the issue refer to your stone care & maintenance guide. If for any reason you have no been given one, please contact our team and we will point you in the right direction.
