The best way, recommended to me by a fitter (granite, not epileptic) is soapy warm water. (Fairy liquid)
Wipe down the surfaces (including the stove) with the soapy water and then dry with a tea towel. It works brilliantly.
We used to use glass cleaner, but it didn't work as well and apparantly damages the surface.

This is what I've done with mine for about fifteen years but I was scared stiff that if I said so, there might an outcry of "how unhygienic, how minimalistic, haven't you oldies ever heard of bacteria...?" Didn't want to start my new year with a guilty conscience.

I guess after a while this is probably needed and then you can start anew.

| | Cleaning Formula for Kitchen Granite
Hi,
There are hard water stains near the sink of our kitchen on the granite floor. I'm looking for a suitable and strong cleaning formula/liquid to remove them. If found this on Amazon but somehow it didn't work :/ (Maybe I didn't use it correctly): https://www.amazon.de/dp/B008VBC0YO
Does anyone have a recommendation here? Something that worked for you?
Much appreciated
Thanks
