Cleaning Question

OK, I realize that this is a basic question, but now that are cabinets are all up and we are very near full-kitchen-usage I want to know what is the best product to use when cleaning my Adel MB? How about granite, while I'm on the subject?! Thanks all.

I'll be happy to answer all your questions, just as soon as you give us PICTURES!!!!!

j/k

I love microfiber cloths. I use the nubby ones, just got a couple more in Walgreens for $1. I cut them in half so they are about a foot square and wash them daily. I use them for everything and usually need to use nothing but very hot water. On occasion, a bit of soapy water on granite works wonders, as does any non-ammonia glass cleaner spray. Don't use orange or acidic sprays, and make sure to follow your fabricator's instructions on sealing and all that.

More pictures...

are coming! Haven't had the chance to upload yet. If you check my blog we were just getting to the floor tiling a couple of days ago. Floor is done today!! Walls are clean, painted, even & ready for "backsplashing"(is that a verb?) and the granite counter is being installed tomorrow afternoon. Thanks for the cleaning advice, Eva! Is the blog a good place for the pix or should they go elsewhere??

We also use microfiber cloths for the cabinet wipedowns but I have to plug Method brand Granite cleaner. I love how it smells and how nice our granite looks afterwards.

And regarding pictures, the link in my signature should help upload them here. Can't wait to see them!
