Granite: Is Seventh Generation dish soap safe for granite countertops?
62952
I've been using it on my granite counter top for several months now and have not noticed any issues. I try to use a specific granite cleaner as often as possible (I like Method) - because those have ingredients that help prolong the sealant on the granite. But the Seventh Generation soap is very mild and has not caused any issues for me so far.

I don't know what is recommended, but I would not put it in the dishwasher. I fear it would make the stone brittle.

I have used this product only on my laminate counters, not the granite so really don't know, sorry.

Yes - I always wash my silver cutlery (flatware) and dishes with soap and water after polishing them. Just use Palmolive, Fairy or any other regular kitchen detergent. Patricia

We have granite countertops and that's what we use it on. I had never heard of quartzite, so I looked it up online. I found a helpful article about it on countertopinvestigtor.com. It is a stone product (the quartzite), so I would imagine you'd be fine using this cleaner. We also use this cleaner on our glass cooktop with no problems, and we've been using this cleaner for over a year.

Mine was stainless not red, be sure to double check the thickness of your counter top. Another half inch on the soap dispenser would have been helpful. Unit does not seem to be set up for a granite top and sub deck.

I'm not sure why the instructions say no because I've been using it on my granite counters forever....

Coffee stains wipe right off with water. If you get a dried on food spot, just put some water on it to soften it, and wipe it away. I only use dish soap and water to clean my counters. No special cleaner, although they do sell something. I did my kitchen a year ago and it still looks great. I think the other product looks like speckled formica, not granite, so this is the perfect choice for the granite look. Friends who see it can't believe I only spent $75 to totally transform my kitchen. I did a bath too, and it is perfect. Good Luck!

As honed granite isn't meant to be super glossy/shiny like polished granite, this should work just fine for you. It has a nice smell, removes finger prints, and makes the counters look clean.

Hi Jo Ann,This Dupont product is the BEST for granite. To answer the question about sealer, I do the test discussed here.http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2009/09/q-a-how-frequently-do-i-need-to-reseal-my-granite-kitchen-countertops/index.htmI hope this helps!Patty

Any normal dish soap will work. You don't need to worry about ruining the seasoning like in cast iron. They are also listed as dishwasher safe, and I have had good luck with that as long as I haven't burned on any food.

For my SS pans, I shake some baking soda onto the wet pan bottom. Put some soap on the wet dishcloth. Rub it out. Easy. Great technique for cleaning scum off outside of pans, glass casserole dishes, stainless sinks , plastic dishpans, and much more. Keep a shaker of baking soda near the sink!

Update on my gray chef's choice grinder dishwasher cycle. Chef's choice says it is still food safe, ok to use and definitely not the first time this happened. They said many dishwasher soaps and the heated drying cycles all contribute to "removing" the shiny surface. So . . .if you're unhappy with a shiny new aluminum grinder and prefer a "pewter gray"...

we have granite with quartz. But it was recommended to us to seal the counters beforehand. It's much easier to clean the counters now. We will put more sealer on I think every 2-3 years.

I clean mine with dish soap and use baking soda if it needs an abrasive scrub. I read that vinegar shouldn't be used on granite.

I use it on my granite counters. It's very good. It's better than windex or just soap and water. Cleans up the grime very good.
