There are numerous cleaning products that you can choose from, but there are only a few that actually work. That means that you could be wasting your time and money! In order to ensure that this problem doesn’t persist, you need to know what you’re looking for in a cleaner. Any company can claim that their cleaner works better than others, but few can actually deliver results.
You can be safe with some generic cleaners that are targeted towards surfaces like glass or wood. However, if you have stone surfaces, then you probably know that subpar cleaners can leave residue, dull the color, and eliminate the beautiful shine. The investment in replacing these surfaces may be out of your budget, so make sure you’re using the proper cleaners to rejuvenate and maintain your stone so it reaches its fullest beauty potential.
How do you know what a “good cleaner” is for your stone? Well, here is a list of considerations that you want to have before you buy.
What Type Of Stone Do You Have?
Make sure you know if your countertops are granite or if your tile is marble. Knowing the type of stone in your home is imperative to choosing the best product for you. If a cleaner just says something generic like “stone cleaner,” then that’s probably a good sign that it’s not the best product.
Check The Contents For Acid
If a cleaner’s solution contains acidic elements, then you definitely want to stay away from it. Acid is what leads to discoloration, dulling, and even stains. Choose a cleaner that is acid-free and safe for your stone.
Do You Need Something Specialized?
Maybe you’re trying to get the shine back into your countertops or you want to get rid of an annoying stain. You can’t simply keep cleaning and get the stone back to its original state. You need a little extra help. Thus, you should invest in items like stone conditioner or stone polish. These products will help to bring out shine and polish out small stains and scratches.
