Benchtop Stonecare

Diamonds and Silicon Carbide are some of the very few materials harder than Granite.
Green scourer pads contain silicon carbide and can, if used regularly, dull the surface of natural granite.
For best results, simply wash bench-top surfaces down with warm soapy water and dry off with a clean tea towel.
Alternatively, a number of commercial cleaners and polishes are available from the Absolute Stone showroom.
No chemicals such as bleach should be necessary.
"Enyo" or similar micro-fibre cloths also work brilliantly with granite.
Please consult your Absolute Stone dealer for more details.
Spills should be cleaned off immediately. The sealer is designed to give you time to clean surfaces (within 1 to 2 hours is normally fine), however leaving the surfaces uncleaned overnight may result in some marking.
Most marking from oil can be removed simply with products like “Oil-Ex”, available from your Absolute Stone dealer.

 

Hard to remove grime:
If a build up of any grime occurs and is hard to remove, simply use OOOO Steel Wool.
Steel is not as hard as Granite, so the steel wool will not damage the surface.
Should a stain occur, it can generally be removed by the use of a poultice or Commercial absorption agent. Absolute Stone stocks an exceptional product called “Oil-Ex” which will remove most stains overnight.
