Homemade Granite Cleaner
This homemade granite and quartz cleaner is the perfect natural solution for sparkling clean countertops. Made with everyday ingredients, you can whip up a cleaner in less than 5 minutes.
Servings: 1 bottle
Equipment
- Spray bottle
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup rubbing alcohol
- 1.5 cups water preferably distilled
- 1/2 tablespoon dish soap or Castile soap
- 10 drops lemon essential oil optional
Instructions
- Prepare the bottle by cleaning it with soap and water if needed.
- Add the water, rubbing alcohol, and dish soap to the spray bottle. If you're adding essential oils, this is the time to do it—add about 10-15 drops of essential oil (depending on how strong you want the scent).
- Once the ingredients are in the bottle, put the lid on and shake it well to combine.
- Use! Simply spray the cleaner onto your granite or quartz countertops and wipe with a soft dry cloth or microfiber towel. There’s no need to rinse!
Notes
- It is always a good idea to test your homemade cleaner on a small portion of your countertops to make sure it is suitable.
- With alcohol-based cleaner, it is always a good idea to spray in a well-ventilated area.
- This is appropriate for everyday use.
- For stubborn spots: If you need a stronger cleaner for tough spots, increase the rubbing alcohol to 1/2 cup and add a little more dish soap and lemon oil.
- For a more therapeutic touch, try using oils like eucalyptus, peppermint, or orange.
