How do I remove stains and spills of oil and other substance from our unsealed granite floor?


Home Depot has a concrete floor cleaner by Zep. I know you can clean granite outside with it successfully. You might want to ask the floor person there when you are buying it whether it could cause damage inside. The key being that you can power wash outside after use.

Granite Floor - Advice, Information And Tips To Help You.

A granite floor is an excellent alternative to other types of flooring such as marble, wood, linoleum or various other tiles. Granite is often used in landscaping and for entrance, floor and other outdoor living areas. But a granite floor is also wonderful option for a kitchen, bathroom or other areas where homeowners are seeking alternatives to carpeted flooring. A granite floor is not only useful, but can be quite beautiful when style, color and design are carefully selected.

In addition to the fact that it is long lasting and aesthetically pleasant, those who choose a granite floor as opposed to the many other options out there can consider themselves environmentally friendly. Unlike other flooring materials, granite does not require destroying trees or use of other natural resources or harmful chemicals in processing.

This type of application can consist of either slab or tiles. Most consider slabs to be more pleasing to the eye than tiles. Like any other type of flooring, a granite floor can become damaged with time. A granite floor in a heavily trafficked living area might become worn over time, and dulling can occur. Another disadvantage is that it can also come off. Care should be taken to avoid putting items like containers holding acidic beverages or certain types of soaps and shampoos on the floor. Regular polishing can correct most deficiency in a granite floor. Polishing also helps with any water rings or spots that might mar its appearance.

The person responsible for cleaning will be pleased to know that it's a relatively easy job. Granite can be vacuumed or dust mopped, and should also be wet mopped on a regular basis. A neutral detergent should be used when wet mopping. Granite can also be cleaned with a regular household window cleaner. An advantage of granite is that it is much less porous than marble or other types of stone. But while less so than other types of stone, granite is porous and thus some colors can absorb moisture and appear discolored.

If you have little ones running around your home or a furry friend or two this might be a good choice for a floor. A granite floor will generally not crack from the damage of everyday use as might other types of flooring. Any damages to granite generally occur during shipping or installation. Overall, this is an excellent choice for someone seeking a flooring option that offers both natural beauty and minimal maintenance and repair work.
