After our kitchen renovations wrapped up in December, I found myself face to face with granite counters for the first time in my life.  I quickly realized that I had no idea how to keep them clean and the few different cleaners that I tried left quite a bit of streaking.

My friend recommended a DIY granite cleaner that she uses.  It sounded so simple, and I had all of the ingredients on hand.
