Learn whether Mrs. Meyer's Multi-Surface Cleaner is safe for granite countertops, how to clean natural stone naturally, and what to avoid to keep your surfaces protected.
Quick Answer
Yes, you can use Mrs. Meyer's Multi-Surface Everyday Cleaner on granite countertops, provided the stone is properly sealed. The gentle, plant-derived formula is safe for daily cleaning of sealed granite without dulling the finish or leaving residue.
What Makes a Cleaner Safe for Granite?
Granite is a porous natural stone, so the main risk with any cleaner is damaging the seal or leaving behind a film that attracts dirt. A safe granite cleaner should be pH-neutral, free of harsh acids or abrasives, and gentle enough for daily use. Mrs. Meyer's Multi-Surface Everyday Cleaner fits this profile—it uses essential oils and plant-derived ingredients to remove dirt without etching or stripping the sealant.
How to Clean Granite Countertops with Multi-Surface Cleaner
Start by dusting or wiping away loose crumbs. Spray Mrs. Meyer's Rosemary Multi-Surface Everyday Cleaner directly onto the surface or onto a soft microfiber cloth. Wipe in a gentle, circular motion, then buff dry with a clean cloth to avoid streaks. For routine cleaning, this method keeps your granite looking fresh without the need for specialized stone soaps.
When to Avoid Using Multi-Surface Cleaner on Granite
If your granite countertop has a damaged or worn seal, the cleaner may penetrate the stone and cause discoloration. To test the seal, sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface—if it darkens the stone, the seal needs reapplication. Also avoid letting any cleaner pool on unsealed areas or using abrasive scrub pads, which can scratch the finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use Mrs. Meyer's Multi-Surface Concentrate on granite?
- Yes, but you must dilute the concentrate according to the label instructions. The Lemon Verbena Multi-Surface Concentrate is versatile and can be mixed with water for use on sealed granite. Avoid using undiluted concentrate, as it may be too strong for the stone. Always dilute concentrates per directions before using on granite.
- Will the scent linger on my countertops?
- Mrs. Meyer's cleaners use essential oils for fragrance, which are not as strong as synthetic perfumes. The Rosemary scent is fresh but dissipates quickly after wiping, so it won't interfere with food prep or leave a lasting smell. The light scent fades fast, making it kitchen-friendly.
- How often should I reseal my granite countertops?
- Resealing frequency depends on the type of sealant and usage, but a good rule is to reseal every 6 to 12 months. Regular use of a gentle, pH-neutral cleaner like Mrs. Meyer's helps preserve the seal longer. Test your seal annually to keep your granite protected.
