How to Clean a Granite Fireplace

Pour a gallon of warm water into a bowl and add 2 to 3 tbsp. of regular dish soap to the water. The water should take on a soapy texture and there will be some foam on the top.

Dampen a sponge with the soapy water and scrub the granite fireplace vigorously. Make sure to scrub in between grout lines if your fireplace has granite tile.

Dump out the soapy water and replace it with clean water. Use your sponge to rinse off the soapy water. Make sure to do a thorough job, as any leftover soap will leave a thin, opaque film on the granite's surface.

Use a towel to dry off the granite. It should be restored to its former brilliance.
