Got Granite? How to Clean Granite Counter Tops

While I can't take credit for this concoction (I learned about it from my sister, who learned about it from her mother-in-law), I can share it.

Granite counter tops are one of today's most popular kitchen updates/options, but if they are not sealed properly or on a regular enough basis, they can absorb anything that is spilled on them or used to clean them. The following potion provides a safe and easy way to clean your granite counter tops. You can make it in any amount, just follow the ratios provided below.

Homemade Granite Counter Top Cleaner:

1/3 rubbing alcohol
2/3 water
a few drops of liquid dish soap, such as Dawn

My husband and I recently renovated our kitchen, and the project included--among many other upgrades--replacing our old, faux wood counter tops with brand new granite counter tops. I have been using the above mixture to clean them for the last few months, and not only does it make my kitchen smell nice and clean (a little like a sterile doctor's office, actually), but it also gives my counter tops an unrivaled luster.

Happy homemade cleaning!
