Commonly Asked Questions
Which cleaners are safe on stone?
Most typical, everyday household cleaners, including glass
cleaner, soft scrub cleansers and all-purpose cleaners, con-
tain ammonia or other damaging chemicals that will break
down the protective seal and damage the natural stone’s
surface, leading to costly repair or replacement. Granite
Gold brand products are safe to use on any natural stone
surface.
In what order do I use Granite Gold Polish, Granite
Gold Cleaner and Granite Gold Sealer?
Use the Granite Gold Daily Cleaner followed by Granite
Gold Sealer. It is safe to polish your freshly sealed natural
stone 24 hours after applying Granite Gold Sealer. Regular
polishing after cleaning will bring out stone’s natural
beauty and provide ongoing protection against water spots
and fingerprints. Polishing shower walls and tub surrounds
will help prevent soap scum build-up. Do not polish floors,
which can become slippery.
How do I know if my stone is sealed?
The protective seal wears over time. Regularly check the in-
tegrity of the seal with an at-home water test. Pour water
(about 3 inches in diameter) on the surface in several loca-
tions and let it sit for 30 minutes. If the water penetrates
the stone–look for a dark mark or ring–it is time to reseal.
Frequent use maintains maximum surface protection,
penetrating stone surfaces to provide superior, long-lasting
resistance to staining, etching and soil build-up.
How do I seal my stone?
1. Clean the surface with Granite Gold Daily Cleaner.
2. Spray sealer on the surface in a 3-foot section.
3. Immediately wipe into stone with a lint-free cloth.
Do not allow sealer to dry on the surface–it will cause
hazing.
4. Buff dry with a lint-free cloth.
5. For maximum protection, repeat the process 2-3 times.
6. Wait 24 hours for sealer to cure before using Granite
Gold Polish.
On what types of surfaces can Granite Gold be used?

formulated to protect any natural stone surface, includ-
ing granite, marble, limestone, travertine, onyx and slate.
Granite Gold can be used on any finish, including polish,
honed, sandblasted, etc., and the products are safe for use

lain tile, concrete, Corian, Silestone, Terrazzo and Formica.
