How to Clean Granite Countertops

[@saraswatisatyoga1948]

This guy rocks 😂 love his care, enthusiasm and encouragement. I am a first- time home owner and am a novice at EVERYTHING. I have paid too much on subpar work and now am feeling motivated and empowered to master more tasks around the house. But I often feel overwhelmed. This channel demystifies stone care and I am appreciative. I love the opening!

[@mlg1948]

By the way - you have a beautiful voice. And I loved your no nonsense video.

[@NEWHOMESALES]

Wasn't expecting the singing. Great work! Thanks for the video!

[@robertkravitz8563]

Your tips here bordered on brilliant. I no longer use all kinds of chemicals to clean my countertops. It's so much healthier. Thanks

[@edwinfigueroa1743]

I enjoyed this very much. No fuss, just straight to the point!! Plus some musical entertainment is always welcomed. Thanks!!

[@anastasia4g]

Thank you so much! I cannot believe how beautiful my countertops look after using your method. Who would have known it was that east?!

[@anastasia4g]

I meant easy!!

[@wintergoosey6412]

I love this guy. His singing voice is fantastic.

[@toddbrown9457]

I wanted advice like this. I have all of those cleaning products already. Inexpensive and effective. Thank you.

[@michaelstansfield717]

Can I use wet wipe to clean?

[@Kevinb1821]

Just moved to a new house with stone counter tops and cleaned it with windex. I realized there was a haze after cleaning it. I took a wet rag to rub off the haze and then dried it down with a dry rag. Thanks for the tips so I don’t ruin them in the future.

[@1kaffelover]

Loved your opening!🎼 Thanks for a great video and explanation of granite care👍

[@phatrides222000]

thats how i do my countertops. Works great and they look new 15 years later!

[@The-Story-Assassin]

Thank you! Here I was watching other videos and thinking that I needed a steamer and polishing wheel to get it clean and shiny again! Will try this today.

[@NaturalMonty]

Best video on cleaning my counter top.

[@badgerbrry]

Good video with very helpful tips. Very dilute (

[@Blidden]

The contact time of the alcohol with the organism also plays an important role. A 70% solution of alcohol takes more time in evaporation from the surface, increasing the contact time. ... Thus 70% IPA solution in water is more effective than 100% absolute alcohol and have more disinfectant capacity.

[@citticat2]

Oh come on -- we have a great immune system --a few germs is good for us -- keeps our immune system working.

[@HypnotistJonDee]

I watched 4 videos and yours was by far the best info. Thank you for making it. Getting a razor blade now:)

[@kenwilson9366]

Hey I know that great singing voice. Good to see and hear you again. Thanks for the info, it has helped me take care of my granite. Bravo

[@bigbadboogie6842]

Additional tips. 1. Use a "glass stove" cleaner handle for the razor blade to minimize risk of cutting yourself + its easy to keep blade level with even pressure. 2. Mix in a bit of dish soap in the alcohol+water mixture. Not a lot, a teaspoon on a full bottle is suffiicient (use non coloured dish soap if available, especially if granite is of a light colour like white)

[@wjvlodek8769]

Do you know how to BEST get the "hard water" stains off the granite? THANKS!!

[@larsonfamilyhouse]

@@wjvlodek8769 might have to call a pro to grind them off. Might look into sanding it out if you’re sure you want to tackle it yourself there’s videos on KZbin

[@bbass56]

Thanks for the video ! My counter tops have been dull for a long time - my wifes been using windex !! Im going to try the alcohol - water solution..thanks again

[@chinasierra5455]

thats what Ive been using . Will change to alcohol

[@marcocalo4516]

First off when and where are you performing because, your intro was fantastic. Oh yeah... the video was very informative as well.

[@sabawond289]

Is the alcohol mix for everyday use? Or use the soap mix everyday and the alcohol mix every now and then? Thanks.

[@ZalexMusic]

holy moly this dude has some serious charisma

[@peruatbnu]

Is no one gonna talk about that beautiful yet brief intro!!!!!????

[@jefff6167]

Thanks for this very helpful video. You’re a great presenter.

[@mackm7781]

Wow...Amazing voice!!! Was not expecting that!

[@annas3808]

I absolutely love your singing! Wow!!! Amazing ♥️

[@hyperboly]

wow! what a voice! thank you for that bit of beauty today!

[@NamaGVida]

I needed to hear your singing today!! Yessss!!!!

[@jricciardi99]

I been using this combination with a couple drops of dish soap for years I use it on windows to streaks works great on almost everything

[@tubailey2459]

Great cleaning advice for Covid 19, too

[@VividTheater]

Simple, cheap and very effective.

[@PurpleNinja-vn4hv]

Someone please get this man on America’s got talent👍

[@OobucknutoO]

I do agree... 🏈 Go Bucks 👌🙌🖕👌

[@thorsky2754]

Subscribed just because of that intro! Great info, to the point.

[@sandramonroe4558]

What a beautiful voice and thanks for sharing your awesome ideas about how to clean countertops.

[@TopisMe]

His comment about wanting our homes to be a little safer hits more than ever

[@exitstage1eft]

lol I had the same thought. Like wait when was this filmed?

[@glenbutler9611]

If only people would check out your videos first! It would save tons of money on the mediocre products bought in box stores! Great voice, btw🎶👨🏻‍🎤

[@gmajor1273]

Great video. Very informative. Man, you are a great singer.

[@hilo6487]

Came to be inform. Left with a performance👏👏👏👏

[@ThePerpetualStudent]

Subbed for the first 5 second aria. Brilliant.

[@loisschock4173]

I just finished watching your how to seal granite and loved your video! This one is fabulous too! OMG, what a grand voice! Oh, I almost forgot my question! Can you rec-comment a granite sealer? Is one better than another?

[@sissygoba969]

Wow starting off with that singing was fantastic you have a beautiful singing voice

[@karenro1]

Beautiful voice and great advice. Thank you

[@annarichardson8284]

Finally a sensible solution to clean granite

[@joaquinsuarez6090]

Great, thank you. Do we need to put a granite sealer after cleaning it? In the past when I applied sealer, it always leaves a film that is hard to remove and black granite looks cloudy.

[@maryjaneamaral8081]

Very nice to know, they have cost lots of money, so I'm always cautious about everything, to be safe!!! Thank U!!!👍🤗❤

[@tjle4900]

Very nice video tutorial, thanks for sharing!!!

[@joromo]

WTF DUDE!!!! YOU'RE SINGING IN THE BEGINNING BLEW ME AWAY. You should sing man wow. 😳 😲 Btw what about black granite? How can I maintain that.

[@cpf55]

Thanks for the tip! I have very light scratches all over my countertops. Will this help conceal the scratches also? If not do you have a recommendation other than hiring contractor to buff out?

[@MichelleW]

Thank you for this! Works perfect for 2020 too :)

[@shaheenabubshait]

Fantastic advice and singing.

[@JanieBgrand]

Question: what % of alcohol are you starting with before dilution?

[@eltonnoway7864]

91% Isopropyl Alcohol (used the windows zoom feature to zoom in on his bottle of alcohol)

[@rosalyntwomey7859]

Exactly what I wanted to know thank you ! Lovely voice by the way X x

[@jenniferlavacca9272]

Hi, thanks for the informative videos. I have granite in the bathrooms as well as the kitchen. The isopropyl method doesn't seem to cut through the hard water / soap buildup on the countertops, around the faucet knobs. You said don't use vinegar, but would baking soda be okay to try?

[@chinasierra5455]

I also have hard water and same problem with build up around faucets . Would like tto see what the solution is

[@Terry-kd8zl]

Use toothpaste for around faucets & water build up…( looks brand new Afterwards/ let dry and scrub off with toothbrush…

[@nmbilly]

You’re suppose to be in the Oprah👀🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@justinsingleton8829]

Is it okay to put a few drops of essential oil in with the alcohol? if so, which one would be ok?

[@fugitivetattoo]

You the Man Mr Saprano!

[@katmcnamara6424]

You have a lovely voice. I have been using vinaiger, but I am breaking out the alcohol. TY

[@80monia]

what kind of granite is that ? I have the exact one in my kitchen and I'm curious what's its name. Thank you for the video.

[@deborahferree1130]

have been looking for way to safely disinfect my granite. thank you

[@ChipSwitzer-oj6yh]

Inherited granite countertops that don't seems to be sealed. I can see clean areas where appliances were. Your advice is fantasitic but I need to get them cleaned and sealed frist. Do you have another video on cleaning unsealed granite?

[@bradouellette6558]

What about sealing the top after several years of use , do you have a video of that , I’m not sure what it was originally sealed with , does this matter , thanks for the great video

[@kimmicannon5629]

Newbie here. Great voice! Thank you for this great information. Question: can I use hydrogen peroxide on the grout in my marble shower tiles and floor?

[@davidronson8712]

I have the black granite which is the most impermeable granite, I buy large rolls of brown papers 750 feet, and use brown paper before using the counters, the granite is always protected whether you are peeling potatoes, cutting meat of a wood board, making salads, once I am done, I remove the paper and put it in the recycling bin of course after removing anything like potatoes peels , however if small pieces of meat fell on , I consider it contaminated and throw the brown paper in the trash, then I sterilize the counter with Lysol wiped or Lysol spray, this was the advice I got from the factory who cut the granite for me and install it in my new house, quite happy with very thick granite that I bought without a third party, directly from the importer.

[@DANVIIL]

Great information and highly appreciated, especially after my paranoid wife gave me a bucket of crap about trying to lightly scrape pizza dough off of the granite surface with a metal dough scraper. It would seem much duller and less intrusive to the granite than a razor blade. Thanks again.

[@lexisotelo8010]

You helped me so much!

[@javybusa]

Great video, how about a leathered top?

[@briansmith1027]

Ahem, wood and stone worktops are equally beautiful, otherwise good advice in this video! P.s. can’t beat a bit of singing

[@lorimeyers5551]

How can i get water rings and the dullness off the granite??

[@ewika420]

Can you use the alcohol and water solution to clean the granite everyday?

[@shiningstar08]

Can you use essential oils for scent with the alcohol/water mixture?

[@mlg1948]

Great video - can’t wait to try it.

[@eicas100]

Great video. However, please note that although Isopropyl alcohol kills certains type of bacteria, dilution to 50 % does away with its effectiveness to disinfect. I like the fact that helps with the shine......

[@teddysatsky9601]

If you don't cook do you have to clean it everyday?

[@olgacotto7915]

Will try this! Thank you!

[@annonymous6904]

Ummm. Wow. That voice! 😳 Amazing!

[@timmiller4979]

Can u use 00 grade steel wool to clean this countertop thanks Tim

[@lucyleclair7325]

Can you recommend anything to take staining out of Carrera marble

[@natehalliwell4226]

Will the alcohol solution work on dragon blue stone? It’s rough and porous. There’s Sheetrock dust on it. Very frustrating. I sealed it many times prior to installing it as the vanity top.. Sheetrock dust still peppered it.

[@anniesfinds]

Do we need to seal the stone before the cleaning and disinfecting? Can we do the same thing on Marble countertops? Thank you!

[@orestesdd]

It seems that my new granite countertop will be too finicky and requires too much care. It also seems I will have to care more often than a non-granite countertop. I don't have it yet, but I think I am going to hate granite.

[@charlottejose1911]

But, what is the alternative though? Tiles? You would have to be thorough in drying every crevice for it would bring more problems with hard water and mold if not properly cleaned. You might even have to use a toothbrush in every gap using bleach when it builds up.

[@carolschedler3832]

You sound like me! 😁. I need to choise a countertop for next home and the more I learn about granite the less I want it. I have formuca that has been hard at work gor 38 years. I’m very productive in my kirchen and eaised four kids here. Baking bread and kneading dough on counters and using metal bench scraper to lift dough, crumbs, spills etc. 😢 I’m not thrilled to see how wimpy the granite is.

[@MelissaFu-wm3mm]

@@carolschedler3832 same lol....... my place came with granite countertops....... it's PRETTY, but apparently it can't even handle a little water.. is porous etc. WTHECK. it's ROCK lol. My parents' house has this 80s weird laminate countertops that don't need to be babied.

[@15secofFame]

I have the same color granite counter tops. How do I remove grease staining from bacon splatter that's near my range top?

[@MA-ur1ns]

I want him to sing happy birthday to me while I eat a big giant plate of spaghetti hehehe 😁

[@trader4life1]

This is Gold!!! Thank you

[@ginamaries8854]

I love your singing voice. Will you make a video singing Ave Maria?

[@uneek5336]

I have small appliances that i want to put on my granite counter top. Will granite get scratched?

[@normafruin5950]

Thanks for the song and good advice😀

[@TheHoleInMyBucket]

Hi, i have river valley white granite. I have been told its quite soft. Would this solution be ok for it? Also does the isopropyl alcohol affect the sealer? Thankyou

[@nigelarcher6640]

Hi im looking to purchase a black polished granite that is completely black without any speckles or what appears to be faint water marks.Ive looked at several and they all seem to have some faint marks in them.Ive also been told about Indian black and African black which in your opinion would you say is more dense I think what I'm trying to achieve is almost a piano black ,does this exist ??Any help would be appreciated thank you.

[@beckyzs7]

Not sure I’ll get an answer since this video was made in 2014, my question is should you seal your granite tops first ? If yes how do we seal them?

[@Versace71]

I watched a KZbin video for that too you put the sealer on your countertop and rub it with a clean cloth

[@Versace71]

You can buy the sealer at Home Depot

[@eltonnoway7864]

​@@Versace71 You can buy granite sealers at Lowes or Home Depot but unfortunately not all of them are created equal. Be sure to do you research and read the negative customer reviews on any granite sealer you may be considering. Some are hard to apply... even worse, some are difficult to remove should they make your granite look worse i.e. hazy. FYI: Here's a good KZbin video on the process: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIqZfnemqM93jsU

[@citticat2]

I removed my granite backsplash to instal tile and the newly uncovered stone is so dirty and I was not sure how to clean the stone safely - thanks.

[@anafrega5224]

Hi, I just moved and the black bathroom countertop is thoroughly stained (white) and dulled. Will cleaning it the way you say be enough or do I have to restore it first? If so, how can I restore it myself (ran out of money with all the unexptected repairs)? Thank you!

[@stephenmcallister2169]

thank you. can’t wait to try this.

[@Whol3NothaL3v3l]

I saw a man sitting down AND cleaning. I was like "Yeah, idgaf what this is about, I just think it's cool that he's like 'Eff it, I'm sitting down!'" 😂

[@bridgettekirk2604]

😳Wow! Amazing tips! Thanks

[@dreamingofbeingfree1217]

how do I remove water stanse from Grant?

[@flimsay]

Dreaming Of Being Free a baking soda and water poultice worked for me.

[@crappo8459]

Thanks for the information

[@Nurslou]

What can I do if a splash of vinegar created a white mark on the granite which is black/brown/gold accents..Could vinegar rip through the sealant?Just from about ten minutes.Was not using it to clean,was using it on my hair.

[@ErikaCheree]

Thank you for this ❤

[@renaoh]

What was the name of the alcohol that you use?

[@efrain908]

OMG, what a beautiful singing voice. The rubbing alcohol comes in 70% and 90% does that matter?

[@MarcassCarcass]

No. Water is the difference.

[@dabulls1g]

@@MarcassCarcass you’re talking about diluting 90% alcohol so that its closer to the 70% in concentration right? The question was asking if they can use undiluted 90% in place of the 70%

[@lauraArual]

Came for granite cleaning. Repeated the beginning for the singing
