How To Clean and Polish Countertops

In this video, I demo how to clean and polish your counter tops in several easy steps ... to bring out the natural beauty of granite, marble, and other hard surfaces. I like to do this just before the holidays or before we entertain throughout the year.

Hey Greens Toronto
Gel Gloss is a refinishing product that is labeled for Laminates. But you’ll need the “Original” in the spray can, because the squeeze and pour bottles are not labeled the same.

I have a question-- I have fake granite countertops in my kitchen, but they're dull - what can I use to make them really SHINE ?

Hi Candice
Composite countertops are made with resins very similar to fiberglass. At your local marine supply dealer, like West Marine, you'll find fiberglass cleaner and polish. The steps are very similar to my video; clean, apply polish, and buff. On heavily used surfaces you may need to polish and buff twice to build the shine. These products are a bit pricey but are specific for resin and fiberglass surfaces. You'll bring the appearance back and prevent changing the countertops. NOTE: I've used this same approach in fiberglass showers that looked bad, and brought the finish back with elbow grease and the fiberglass cleaner and polish. Take your time and let me know how it works for you!
