Granite is a popular home construction material in the Los Angeles area. It’s durable, long-lasting, and has a unique natural beauty. These properties make granite an ideal choice for indoor and outdoor flooring.
Although granite is a hard, durable material, granite flooring tiles can become cracked, stained, and damaged due to wear and tear, particularly in high-traffic areas. However, with the proper care and maintenance, your granite floors can last a lifetime.
Tips for Keeping Your Granite Floors Clean
Like granite countertops, granite flooring needs regular care to maintain its condition and appearance. For the most part, granite flooring is easy to keep clean without the need for professional granite cleaning services. Here are some cleaning tips to help keep your granite floors looking their best:
- A vacuum cleaner, dry dust mop, or mop with dry disposable sweeper clothes can be used to remove dust, loose dirt, pet hair, food particles, and other dry materials from granite floors.
- Mop your floors using a mop or other soft cleaning tool. For a cleaning solution, use a pH-neutral, mild detergent or specially formulated stone soap mixed with warm water. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners – they can damage the stone.
- Wipe up any spills as soon as possible. Granite is porous, and certain liquids can penetrate the surface. Thoroughly dry any wet spots to avoid water stains.
- Lay down mats and rugs in high-traffic areas to reduce wear and tear. To prevent scratches, avoid dragging heavy objects across a granite floor.
- Ensure that your granite floor is properly sealed. Reseal the floor as recommended by the manufacturer to maintain its protective barrier against stains. Be sure that you choose a penetrating sealant – not a topical one – so that it will get deep and provide maximum benefit. If you don’t know how to apply a granite sealer, get help from one of the expert granite technicians at Fuller Granite Repair.
It’s recommended that you reseal your granite floors every one to two years. The frequency depends on how much foot traffic your floors get.
