How Do You Clean Your Granite Counters?
My research tells me not to use ANY cleaner with acid orcitrus base material in it. The company where we bought this says “just usewater,” but this does not disinfect. Andsince Dr. Oz. tells us that our kitchen counter and sink harbors more bacteria thanour toilets, I am not content to just wash with soap and water only.
We are totally organic here and because we are on a septicsystem and drink our ground water so we use no bleach. Normally we use a 50% vinegarand 50% spray mixture, or Dr. Bronner’s organic soap to clean everything but thevinegar is acidic and the Dr. Bronner’s has a citrus base in it. I use to buy aproduct at Target that had no citrus in it but can’t find it anymore.
I’ve considered making my own spray using essential oils(tea tree oil) but I’m not sure if the oil might negatively affect the granite….
Do any of you have any suggestion for a product (either homemade/orstore bought) that get around my need for organic and no bleach and the granitescriteria for no citrus?
