Granite countertops are a beautiful addition to any kitchen or bathroom. Over time, however, they can start to lose their shine and luster. Professional granite polishing services can be quite expensive, but did you know that you can achieve the same polished look right at home? In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the step-by-step process of DIY granite polishing.

What You’ll Need

  • Soft cloths or microfiber towels
  • Granite polishing compound
  • Polishing pads or power polisher
  • Protective gloves
  • Masking tape
  • Water
  • Dish soap

Step 1: Prepare the Surface

Begin by clearing the countertop of any items or debris. Use masking tape to protect adjacent surfaces like cabinets or walls. Ensure you have good ventilation in the room, and wear protective gloves to shield your hands from chemicals.

Step 2: Clean the Granite

Mix a solution of warm water and a few drops of dish soap. Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the solution and gently clean the granite countertop. Avoid using abrasive or acidic cleaners, as they can damage the surface. Once cleaned, wipe the countertop dry with a clean cloth.

Step 3: Apply the Polishing Compound

Take a small amount of granite polishing compound onto a clean, soft cloth. Start by applying it to a small area, preferably in an inconspicuous spot, to ensure compatibility with your granite. Gently rub the compound onto the granite surface using circular motions.

Step 4: Polish the Granite

If you have a power polisher, attach a polishing pad designed for granite. Using low to medium speed, move the polisher in circular motions over the polished surface. If you do not have a power polisher, continue to use a soft cloth and rub the compound on the granite in circular motions. Remember to apply even pressure.

Step 5: Wipe Off Excess Compound

Once the granite has been thoroughly polished, use a clean, damp cloth to wipe away any excess polishing compound. Inspect the countertop for streaks or dull areas and repeat the polishing process if necessary.

Step 6: Final Touches

Once you are satisfied with the polish, wipe the countertop with a dry, clean cloth to remove any remaining moisture. Stand back and admire the renewed shine and beauty of your granite countertops!
