If you’ve had a natural stone countertop or floor installed, you probably asked the contractor or salesperson how you should clean it. The answer: use a pH neutral cleaner. But, what is that and what does that mean?
If you are considering a granite countertop, you are in good company. Over 7.2 million granite counters cover the counters across the US. Why is that?
