I always use a soapy cloth to clean with then follow with a micro-fiber cloth to dry. Looks shiny new.
And on our black granite fireplace hearth in NC., someone put a drink on there one time that left an etched looking ring. I used Gel Gloss (bought at Lowes) and it took it right off.

Hi Mintjulep,
I missed these pictures because I was busy digressing and going off topic here, but back to topic....I really can do that sometimes....Really I can.
These counters are beautiful and the words about the care are encouraging. My counters are supposed to be installed next week. And when I started this thread, I was really having some doubts about what I had gotten myself into from a care standpoint. I had not intended to choose granite. But there it was. And it sounds like it is going to work out fine.
Thanks everybody.
