GRANITE SHIELD
For glossy granite sealed with the Granite Shield process no specific cleaner is recommended.
Over the counter granite cleaners or polishers aren't recommended or needed. Soap and water
shouldn't be used because it can leave a dull, smeary, lifeless mess on your granite. Would you
clean your glass window or glass shower door with soap and water? Harsh chemicals such as
Ajax, Comet, CLR, Lime-Away, Tilex or Goo Gone should never be used on granite or
any type of natural stone. The secret to having the shiniest granite countertop is Granite Shield's
Granite Kleen, Kleen N Shine and a clean microfiber towel.
What we do suggest to clean shiny (polished) granite countertop.

Unfortunately due to the increasing popularity of natural stone many over the counter natural
stone cleaners and polishers and online natural stone cleaners and polishers are popping up on the
market and some are not safe for natural stone and will cause you problems. *Caution some over
the counter cleaners and polishers that say they are granite and marble cleaners and polishers
contain mineral oil, wax and/or silicone and should not be used on granite sealed with Granite
Shield.* Mineral oil left on granite (sealed or unsealed) long periods of time can change the color
of the granite and discolor. Wax, plastic, acrylic and silicone can yellow, crack, peal or scratch and
can leave a thin layer of film on your granite. *Cleaning products that contain such ingredients will
void the Granite Shield warranty. Cleaning products that contain silicone, plastic, acrylic, wax and
mineral oil or any type of oil is considered abuse to natural stone and improper care and
maintenance.* If in areas where you clean your granite (sealed or unsealed) changes colors or
discolors may indicate it was caused by cleaning products. Baby oil is mineral oil. Would you
clean your granite with baby oil? Click here for Do's & Don't to Having Shiny Granite
Countertops.

When cleaning your glossy granite sealed with the Granite Shield process think of your granite as
glass. For glossy granite sealed with the Granite Shield process cleaners such as Windex with
ammonia, Clorox bleach or a 50/50 solution of denatured alcohol and water with a clean
microfiber towel is the best over the counter cleaners and the preferred cleaner is Granite Shield's
Granite Kleen and Kleen N Shine with a clean microfiber towel. A clean microfiber towel on
granite should always be used instead of a paper towel or terry cloth. For honed granite a neutral
stone cleaner and not required but preferred should use Granite Shield's Kleen N Seal Rejuvenate
cleaner or Granite Shield's Kleen N Shield and a white terry cloth towel. Use common sense when
cleaning natural stone. When in doubt use Granite Shield's aftercare products or a neutral stone
cleaner sold at Home Depot or Lowes and a clean microfiber towel for natural stone.

Natural stone countertops such as marble, travertine and limestone a neutral stone cleaner such as
Nustone Kleen along with Kleen N Shield, Kleen N Shine should be used or Kleen N Seal
Rejuvenate. Harsh and/or abrasive or acidic chemicals or cleaners should never be used on these
types of stones. What we suggest to clean marble (polished) countertops.
