Can I Use All-Purpose Cleaner on Granite, Quartz, and Other Countertops?
Your kitchen countertops see a lot.
Crumbs. Coffee spills. Sticky fingerprints. Cooking splatters. School projects. Grocery bags. And whatever that is that someone left on the counter overnight.
So naturally, one of the questions we hear about our PÜR Evergreen® All-Purpose Cleaner is:
“Can I use it on my countertops?”
The answer depends on what your countertops are made of.
Granite, quartz, laminate, marble, butcher block, and other countertop materials have different care requirements. Understanding your surface is the first step toward cleaning it properly—and protecting your investment.
Let's break down some of the most common countertop materials.
Can You Use All-Purpose Cleaner on Granite?
Granite is a natural stone, and natural stone requires a little extra care.
One of the biggest considerations with granite is whether the surface has been properly sealed. Because granite is porous, the sealant helps protect the stone from moisture and staining.
When cleaning granite, avoid abrasive scrubbers and products that your countertop or sealant manufacturer advises against.
If you're using PÜR Evergreen® All-Purpose Cleaner on granite, we recommend first checking the care instructions provided by your countertop manufacturer or installer and testing the cleaner in a small, inconspicuous area.
A soft microfiber towel or Swedish Dishcloth is also a better choice than an abrasive scrubber for routine wiping.
Can You Use All-Purpose Cleaner on Quartz?
Quartz countertops are engineered surfaces made from quartz combined with resins and other materials.
They're popular because they're durable and relatively easy to maintain.
For everyday cleaning, quartz generally doesn't require an entire collection of specialty products.
Use a soft cloth and avoid highly abrasive cleaning tools that could dull or damage the finish.
Before using any cleaning product—including PÜR Evergreen® All-Purpose Cleaner—check your quartz manufacturer's care recommendations.
Once you know your particular surface is compatible, keeping one versatile cleaner nearby can make everyday cleanup much simpler.
What About Laminate Countertops?
Laminate is another common countertop material and is typically easy to clean.
For routine messes, a versatile all-purpose cleaner and soft cloth may be all you need.
Pay particular attention to seams and edges. Excess moisture shouldn't be allowed to sit where it could work its way underneath the laminate.
Spray, wipe, and dry as needed rather than soaking the surface.
Can You Use It on Marble?
Marble deserves special attention.
Like granite, marble is natural stone, but it can be particularly sensitive to acidic products and improper cleaning methods. The wrong product can potentially etch or dull the surface.
Before using PÜR Evergreen® All-Purpose Cleaner—or any cleaner—on marble, check with your stone or countertop manufacturer and test it in an inconspicuous area first.
When you're dealing with an expensive specialty surface, it's always better to verify than assume.
What About Butcher Block?
Wood and butcher block countertops have their own care requirements.
The appropriate cleaning method can depend on:
- The type of wood
- Whether it's sealed
- What it was sealed with
- The manufacturer's recommendations
Avoid allowing excess liquid to sit on wood surfaces.
If you'd like to use PÜR Evergreen® All-Purpose Cleaner on your butcher block, first verify that the cleaner is compatible with your particular finish or sealant.
What About Other Countertop Materials?
Today's kitchens can include everything from solid-surface countertops to concrete, porcelain, stainless steel, and other specialty materials.
Rather than assuming that any cleaner is appropriate for every surface, use this simple rule:
Know your surface. Check its care instructions. Then choose your cleaner.
If you're unsure, test a small hidden area before cleaning the entire countertop.
Why We Love One Cleaner for Everyday Messes
Once you've confirmed that your surfaces are compatible, using a versatile all-purpose cleaner can dramatically simplify your cleaning routine.
Think about how often you wipe down your counters.
Now imagine needing a separate bottle for the kitchen, another for the bathroom, another for the table, and another for everyday household surfaces.
That's a lot of bottles.
PÜR Evergreen® was created around a much simpler philosophy:
Use fewer products that can do more.
Our All-Purpose Cleaner is ideal for tackling many of the everyday messes that happen throughout your home, helping you reduce the number of cleaning products you need to store and buy.
Concentrate Makes It Even Simpler
Our PÜR Evergreen® 4X All-Purpose Cleaner is concentrated, which means you're not continually buying ready-to-use bottles.
Our 32 oz 4X concentrate makes approximately 120 16 oz bottles of ready-to-use cleaner.
Instead of buying another plastic spray bottle every time you run out, you can refill and reuse.
That means:
- Less plastic waste
- Less storage space
- Fewer cleaning products to buy
- Easy refills
- A simpler cleaning routine
- Excellent value per bottle
It's one small change that can make a big difference over time.
Don't Forget Your Cleaning Cloth
What you use to wipe your countertops matters, too.
Pairing your cleaner with a reusable Swedish Dishcloth or microfiber towel can help you reduce your reliance on disposable paper towels.
Spray. Wipe. Rinse. Reuse.
Simple.
