The kitchen countertop is one of the dirtiest places in the kitchen.

However, you can achieve cleanliness if you know how to wash it properly.

Let's figure out which additives to water will quickly restore shine and cleanliness to the room.

How to Clean Different Types of Countertops

Granite and marble have a porous structure, so it is not recommended to wash them using caustic household chemicals.

It is best to take a soft soap, dissolve it in water, pour the solution into a spray bottle and apply it to the surface of the countertop. All that remains to be done is to wipe the stone and wash off the remains of the product.

If we are talking about difficult stains, then soda will come to the rescue.

The best way to clean a laminate countertop is with dishwashing detergent. A couple of drops in 2 cups of water is enough to scrub it until it shines.

If you have a wooden countertop at home, then it is best to clean it with either a mixture of mild hand soap or a mixture of dishwashing liquid.

To remove stains from such a surface, you can use a product based on vinegar, lemon juice and water, which should be mixed in equal proportions and applied to the stain, then washed off.
