[skyy 0]

Hi all,

I just bought a re-sale flat with granite flooring. May i know how should i maintain it or clean it?

I heard that cant anyhow use detergent to clean the floor especially those which is very strong and got bleaching power.

Anybody got experience? Thanks!

Hi skyy,

I would recommend to you to used a not so wet mop to just go thru the place as no matter what, granite is still a porous stone. It will still absord water. Remember, the mop cannot be too wet. Used hot / warm water to mop the floor to quicken the process of floor drying.

As for the detergent wise, try not to use those detergents that are too acidic for e.g. like Mr. Muscle

The normal blue colour detergent that we used to clean the floor will do.

You can still used the normal mop, but try to squeeze dry the mop manually (using ur bare hand) or you can buy those commercial pails that comes with the squeezing thing in the bucket to squeeze dry the mop which most cleaners used in shopping malls.

I can't recall the brands, too many already.

But you can used Dettol (green colour bottle with white cap) 1500ml

- Cuts thru dirt & grease

- Kills disease causing germs even in diultion

- Deodorises with pleasant fresh scent

- Suitable for all floors

Please follow the instructions / directions for usages.
