Granite Is Seventh Generation dish soap safe for granite countertops?
62951
ISeventh Generation dish soap around my kitchen all the time and I have granite countertops. To clean the countertops at the end of the day, however, I use Seventh Generation Disinfecting Multi-Purpose cleaner and a microfibre cloth. My counters are shiny, clean and santized without harmful toxins.

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.

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

I won't use it on granite counter tops. The granite is naturally glossy or shiny and if you wan to enhance or clean it, you can get the special cream to clean granite counter tops. It is sold everywhere.

The front of the bottle says it can be used on granite. The back of the bottle has a list of brand names: formica, corian, swanstone, Fountainhead by Nevamar, Wilsonart, Gibraltar, Avonte, Nemar, Surell and Pionite. I'm not familiar with most of these brands but I think it would be great for granite. It doesn't cause a buildup so I think it would be great, especially if your granite is new and you don't have to get rid of the buildup from other products.

Depends what is on the granite - but generally no. And, no to glass. Use Windex on glass or some other product made for glass. Spray nine will leave smears on really shinny things. It is a great cleaner for dirt and oilly things.

Hi John - The back of the bottle says can be used on counters, tile, stone, wood and glass. I have used it on my granite and haven't had any issues, but I am not great for following the granite manufacturer care instructions. I have also used Windex. It's pretty potent, so if you are concerned, maybe dilute it a bit & test an area or not use it on your granite. Hope this is helpful!

It works perfect in our S.S. sink and protects it from scratching... It has well made little feet so it will not scratch... I can't see why it wouldn't work well in your granite sink if it fits... We have been perfectly happy with ours...

As long as you know the seal on your granite counter is decent, I'd say yes. However there is a Method Daily Granite Cleaner, made for just that.

I have granite...which I guess is like marble. I love this cleaner. Cleans easily without much elbow grease. No streaks....better that regular kitchen cleaner. I don't use it every time I wipe the counters.

I use it on quartzite which is slightly less porous than granite. I do think you would be able to use it on granite. In fact, I think I use this on just about everything. Tub, shower tile (Italian ceramic), and even the toilet. Been using it like this for a couple of years now and it has been terrific for me.

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"...

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

It is definitely stone, but is more porous than marble. It works marvelously, retaining heat long after use. However, you need to follow the safety and cleaning instructions. The stone is very dense and heavier than it looks. Certain foods are more difficult to clean off the stone after use and may stain. Soaps are not recommended, as the stone is porous. If you feel it is necessary to tackle any staining, there are likely safe, non-soap alternatives out there (perhaps, baking soda and vinegar?), but I have NOT attempted any cleaning myself, except scrubbing with hot water. I DEFINITELY recommend purchasing the stone, as it does what it does perfectly. One of my favorite uses is to reheat leftover pizza and sandwiches. The soggy or even greasy dough crisps up and there is less opportunity to burn or dry out the rest of the dish.

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.

Yes, this is what I use on our solid surface counter tops. It cleans and shines.

Try it. If it slips, take a clean cotton or linen dish towel and maybe dampen it slightly on your granite surface under the Dexas plastic rectangle.

We just use dish soap. A light coat of vegetable oil with a paper towel gives it back its deep dark color. Try it! My wife says nothing else works, although I've thought about granite clean and shine.
