Default cleaning polished black granite

Hi

ive just had some polished black granite floor tiles laid. They look gloriuos, but I have no idea what I should be cleaning them with. I went to the local supermarket & came away empty handed as nothing seemed to be any good. Could some one help me out, the dog has started to leave little muddy paw prints & im just using really diluted soapy water at the mo

Thanks

Stick with the soapy water !

Its the same for granite worktops - a little soapy water works fine and dry off with a teatowel. Id save the chemicals for a real rainy day clean.

agre with the boys use soapy water first but for the ultimate polish contact your local granite worktop place they use a special degreasing spray gets rid of all those finger prints and dog prints

You don't even need the soap actually. You are better off with 5 litres of water and a capful of any Neutral Ph cleaner
