Granite has been gaining more and more popularity for some time now. It looks nice both at home and outside, and its durability makes it resistant to even unfavorable weather conditions. Granite has gained great fame in decorating the kitchen. It is successfully used as kitchen countertops with much higher durability than wood or thin steel sheet coatings. Apart from the kitchen, it works great in bathrooms. Not only as a decorative element, but as a functional element in the full sense of the word. Despite many advantages, it is easy to get dirty, especially with oily agents, which may be difficult to clean. Let's check where granite can be used and how to care for it properly.
What uses is granite suitable for and why?
Granite is one of those materials that creates a specific atmosphere. Objects made of this stone and finely processed are a perfect decoration in themselves. Even though processing granite is not the easiest thing, the elements made of it are extremely durable. However, it is worth remembering that granite is sensitive to many substances.
It is successfully used:
- in home kitchens, as countertops, clean Clinex Fast Gast,
- bathrooms and sanitary rooms as finishing, e.g. washbasins,
- in living rooms as granite finishing elements for fireplaces,
- outside the house in gazebos and field stoves,
- finally, as the main construction material of tombstones and monuments.
Granite is used in almost all areas of life. It can be used to make elements that, after careful processing, will attract attention and give you a lot of satisfaction.
Cleaning granite from grease stains
Granite, if well-kept, looks beautiful, but it is also a material that is very easy to get dirty. It captures literally every spot of fat. Greasy stains smear and dull the disc, which changes color and looks neglected. However, you can avoid this by using professional degreasing fluids for granite and other stone elements.
This product comes in easy-to-use dispensers, which makes degreasing granite inside your home a quick and pleasant process. If you need to remove greasy stains from granite monuments or tombstones, Clinex 4-Dirt and Max Dirt will come in handy. Granite elements are often exposed to direct exposure to weather conditions, smog, acidic and polluted rain. Concentrated degreasing preparations will also be perfect in the fight against such contamination. They will remove the most difficult greasy dirt from the stone surface, giving it its proper color and shine.
What materials should I use to clean granite?
Cleaning granite from greasy stains does not have to be tiring and time-consuming. The most important thing is to be equipped with the necessary care products. Appropriately soft cloths that absorb grease accumulated on the stone surface will also be useful. Some people use cotton cloths to clean granite. Unfortunately, they tend to leave single fibers on the granite surface, which do not look very good. Therefore, very soft microfibers seem to be the best. They will not only collect traces of fat, but will also absorb water. These properties of microfibers make polishing the boards without leaving any marks, prints or streaks much less troublesome.
Caring for granite doesn’t end there. To ensure that stone slabs shine perfectly, they must also be preserved.
How to avoid greasy dirt on granite slabs?
It is possible to significantly extend the period of cleaning the stone from fat and other impurities. For this purpose, it is worth using a special milk that will also remove other stubborn stains. In addition, it will provide a shine reserved only for new stone slabs.
Proper impregnation of the stone will make it less sensitive to degenerating atmospheric factors. Too long exposure to them may result in the stone becoming dull and requiring machine polishing. Proper maintenance and polishing using professional degreasing and protective products will ensure the long durability of granite. The same applies to any scratches that have occurred. Granite is usually resistant to them, and its maintenance will further enhance the protection. Preservatives will also mask existing scratches and eliminate scratches. Therefore, this is another reason to impregnate the stone after cleaning.
