How to Polish a Granite Countertop and Restore Its Shine
Granite countertops are durable, but daily use can leave them dull, greasy or lightly scratched. The right approach depends on whether the issue is simple residue, worn sealer or actual surface wear.
Start with a proper granite cleaning
Remove dust and grease with a pH-neutral stone cleaner and a microfiber cloth. Avoid vinegar, lemon, harsh bleach solutions and abrasive powders because they can damage the finish or sealer.
If the surface still looks cloudy after cleaning, inspect it for scratches, wear near work areas or dark spots caused by absorption.
How granite polishing works
Light maintenance may only require a granite-safe polish. More severe dullness can require professional honing, polishing and resealing. Professional equipment allows the finish to be refined evenly without creating visible swirl marks.
