Granite and laminate countertops need genuinely different care to stay in good condition, and using the wrong approach on either can cause lasting damage.
Granite care
Use a pH-neutral cleaner, acidic products like vinegar can etch and dull granite’s natural finish over time.
Laminate care
Laminate is more forgiving but still benefits from gentle products, avoid abrasive scrubbing which can scratch the surface.
What both have in common
Wiping up spills promptly and avoiding standing water protects both surfaces from long-term damage.
