How To Treat Different Spills On Your Granite Stone Floor
Do you have a brand new granite stone floor that you would like to keep in great condition for many years to come? You are
allergen-free and easy to care for.

Granite stone floors provide your home with a natural elegance that is easy to achieve, and easy to care for. Although granite
stone is a very versatile material, you should still take special care to allow it to remain in its best condition possible. Here are
some tips for targeting special cleaning concerns that may arise as you learn to care for your new granite stone floor.

Watch out for gritty soils, your granite stone floor's natural enemy

The great thing about granite stone floors is how easy they are to care for. Granite stone is a tough yet beautiful building
material, but there is one special soil you must always watch out for. Watch out for gritty dirt, especially sand. One hard sweep
can potentially leave a mark forever. If your granite floor stone is highly trafficked and prone to exposure from gritty soils,
consider laying down an area rug or protective mat in this area.

Keeping a mat inside and outside of an entrance can protect these highly trafficked areas from receiving constant scratches.
Avoid using hard brooms and vacuums with plastic or metal attachments, or anything with wheels. Instead, opt for a damp mop
with clean water where needed.

What happens when your granite stone suffers a spill?

It is inevitable eventually your beautiful granite stone will suffer some kind of spill. No matter how careful you are to keep your
granite stone floor or countertop in tip-top shape, eventually you will need to learn how to clean certain spills. Simply following
up with a quick response and the right cleaning materials can keep your small spill from turning into a permanent stain.

How to clean up food spills?

If you have granite stone in the kitchen or dining room, you will certainly have to put up with food spills. Fortunately, these kinds
of spills are relatively easy to clean up. First, pick up the remaining food with a plastic spoon. Use a white cloth to blot the area
dry, and then spray the area with a special natural stone cleanser. Wipe the spot dry with a clean cloth.

How to take care of liquid spills?

With liquid spills, use a clean white cloth to blot the excess moisture. Turn the white cloth until the area is fully blotted, and then
spray the area with a natural stone cleanser. Wipe the area with a clean cloth.

How to take care of oily stains on your granite stone floor?

There are many spills that may be oil-based, including cooking oils, salad dressings, butter and cosmetics. Create a poultice to
remove oil-based stains. You can also purchase a special oil stain removal paste that can help remove heavy oil spills.
