Steps

Learn how to clean granite and gloss up your granite counters with Pine-Sol cleaner. Clean and disinfect granite like an expert.

  1. Step 1 Brush or sweep away dust, dirt or food crumbs.
  2. Step 2 Dilute ⅛ cup of Pine-Sol® in a gallon of warm water.
  3. Step 3 Wipe down granite with a sponge or mop soaked in the solution.
  4. Step 4 Scrub stubborn stains with full strength Pine-Sol®. Use a cleaning brush or plastic scrub pad rather than a harsh scouring pad, which can scratch unsealed granite.
  5. Step 5 Wipe down with water using a microfiber cloth to keep your granite streak-free.

    TIP: Remember to wipe up spills on unsealed granite floors as soon as possible, and to reseal your granite countertops as recommended by your installation care guide.

With a concentrated formula that is 2X as strong* to last 2X as long*, you can use less for the same great clean.
