dirt and stains<\/h2>\n<h3>&nbsp;Cleaning granite: The first steps<\/h3>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Basic cleaning:<\/strong> Use a gentle cleaning agent and mix the cleaner with clean water according to the dosage instructions.\nOne example is our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.versiegelung24.com\/en\/biosativa-biological-pre-cleaner.html\">Biosativa\u00ae cleaner<\/a>, which is ideal for indoor and outdoor use as it is completely biodegradable and reliably removes dirt at the same time.<br>&#8211; <strong>General cleaning:<\/strong> When cleaning, you should use mild cleaning agents and soft (microfiber) cloths to avoid damaging the surface. <\/p>\n<h3>&nbsp;Removing discoloration and stains<\/h3>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Stubborn stains:<\/strong> A <strong>special grease remover<\/strong> is suitable for stubborn stains such as <strong>oil<\/strong> or <strong>grease stains<\/strong>. Apply the cleaner evenly to the affected areas and allow it to work according to the <strong>manufacturer&#8217;s instructions<\/strong>. <strong>Ask the relevant specialist staff in detail which cleaner is the right one for your application.<\/strong><br>&#8211; <strong>Rust stains:<\/strong> Rust stains are particularly stubborn and can be treated with a specific rust remover for natural stone.\nThe following also applies here: obtain detailed information from the manufacturers and sellers. <\/p>\n<h3>&nbsp;Gentle cleaning and care of granite<\/h3>\n<p>&#8211; Home remedies: Washing-up liquid and water are often a good choice for light soiling. <strong>Be careful not to use acidic or abrasive cleaning agents<\/strong>, as these can cause <strong>irreparable damage<\/strong> to the surface.<br>&#8211; <strong>Maintenance care:<\/strong>&nbsp;For daily care, it is usually sufficient to wipe the granite floor with a damp cloth.<\/p>\n<h2>&nbsp;Cleaning granite outdoors<\/h2>\n<p>Granite slabs in outdoor areas are often exposed to heavy soiling, be it from leaves, pollen or other environmental factors.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Rough cleaning:<\/strong>&nbsp;First remove coarse dirt such as leaves or soil with a broom or leaf blower.<br>&#8211; <strong>High-pressure cleaner<\/strong>: A high-pressure cleaner can be used for deeper cleaning, but <strong>the pressure should not be set too high to avoid damaging the surface or leaving unsightly stains.<\/strong> <strong>If in doubt, consult a specialist<\/strong> before using a pressure washer on granite.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section
