Granite Top
Clean stone surfaces with a few drops of neutral cleaner, stone soap
(available from Monticello Granite) or a mild liquid dishwashing deter-
gent and warm water. Use a clean rag for best results.
Too much cleaner or soap may leave a lm and cause streaks.
Do not use products that contain lemon, vinegar or other acids on the
granite the high acid content may etch the surface.
Rinse the surface thoroughly after washing with the soap solution and
dry with a soft cloth.
Change the rinse water frequently.

Scratches and Chips
Small scratches are visible because they are lighter in color than the
surrounding areas. Making them darker will hide them. On dark stones,
we have had success using permanent black magic markers. Do not
use them on lighter stones. Apply the marker to the scratch, let it dry,
and then rub it off the surrounding area.
Both marble and granite may chip when subjected to a sudden impact.
If you have a large chip, try to nd the loose pieces. They can often be
epoxied back into place. The chip can also be lled with colored epoxy
to match the surrounding stone. Repairing this kind of damage should
be left to other knowledgeable professionals.
