Granite is a very touch stone which can loose its shine after a few years of usage, this obviously having more of an effect in a busy kitchen. Here, we have some steps that you can take to improve and maintain the look of your Granite Worktops.
Cleaning
Sometimes, dirt may be the only item on your worktops that are making them look dull. Starting by cleaning the stone properly and thoroughly using a gentle cleaner such as soap is a good place to start. It is important to not use scourers and abrasive cleaners on them as this will damage the surface and therefore making it impossible to achieve the high gloss polish.
While cleaning the surface, it is a good opportunity to check for damage on them, including chips, scratches or dull patches.

If you seem to still have some dull patches on your worktops after cleaning them, it may be time to invest in a specialist cleaner. Choosing one that is designed for Granite and make sure that you follow the instructions precisely.
These cleaners should restore the shine that you are trying to achieve but will not hide minor damage.
