DIY Natural Granite & Stone Cleaner Spray: Easy, Effective, and Mom-Approved!

As a busy mom, keeping the kitchen counters clean can feel like a never-ending task—especially when you’ve got gorgeous, but high-maintenance, granite or marble surfaces. Whether it’s water rings from sippy cups, standing water from washed veggies, or stubborn stains from everyday kitchen chaos, maintaining that beautiful stone’s clean shine is a challenge.

But don’t worry! I’ve got a quick and natural solution for you that uses everyday ingredients you probably already have on hand. No harsh chemicals, no streaks—just a streak-free, effective cleaner you can feel good about using around your family.

Why Natural Ingredients Matter

One of the best things about making your own countertop cleaner is knowing exactly what goes into it. Granite and marble are porous surfaces, so they’re especially sensitive to acidic substances like lemon juice or white vinegar, which can lead to etch marks and unsightly stains.

That’s why this natural stone cleaner is perfect, it avoids those harsh, abrasive cleaners that can further damage your beautiful stone counters.

And for those of you who, like me, love the scent of a freshly cleaned home, I’ve added essential oils to this recipe—lemon and lavender are my go-tos. Not only do they help mask the rubbing alcohol smell, but they also add a bright, fresh fragrance that makes cleaning a little more enjoyable.

Anyone with marble counters or granite countertops knows how frustrating it can be to keep them looking spotless.

Even regular water stains can leave behind mineral deposits, and kitchen countertops are prime targets for everything from water spots to stubborn stains from cooking or even water marks from the kids’ endless drink requests. So, if you’re wondering how to clean marble countertops to remove water stains, try this DIY counter top cleaner spray.

Using a natural stone cleaner that’s gentle but effective is key for routine maintenance—especially if you’re like me and constantly cleaning between meals, homework, and life in general!

Here’s How to Make Your DIY Granite & Stone Cleaner

To make this DIY natural granite and stone cleaner, you’ll need just a few simple ingredients and supplies.

Start with a glass spray bottle, like the one I grabbed from Amazon here, which is perfect for storing your homemade cleaner.

You’ll also need some rubbing alcohol (I picked mine up at Dollar Tree), a bit of castille soap, and your favorite essential oil—lemon or lavender are great options for adding a fresh scent and masking the rubbing alcohol smell.

Lastly, distilled water is best, but tap water will work in a pinch. With just these simple ingredients and a few kitchen tools like a funnel, measuring cup, and tablespoon, you’ll have everything you need to create a natural, streak-free cleaner that’s safe for your stone surfaces.

Follow along with our easy step by step instructions below to make your own batch of this granite countertop cleaner, suitable for cleaning marble countertops, quartz countertops, and natural stone surfaces – it should work just fine on different varieties of stone. Try in a small area first if you are unsure.

Tips for Best Results

For regular cleaning, grab a soft cloth or a damp cloth, spray your cleaner onto the affected area, and wipe in a gentle, circular motion. Be sure to avoid standing water on your counters, as it can cause water spots or etch marks. Always finish with a dry cloth to buff your stone surfaces to a perfect shine.

If you’re dealing with stubborn stains or mineral deposits, use a plastic scraper or a baking soda paste for spot treatment—never steel wool or other abrasive cleaning products, which can damage the surface of the marble. For tougher stains, a damp cloth with warm water and a few drops of dish soap can also help.

This cleaner is a great way to keep your granite and marble surfaces clean without risking damage from strong cleaning solutions or harsh acidic cleaners. Whether you’re tackling your marble floors, kitchen countertops, or bathroom vanities, this DIY granite cleaner is all about keeping things simple, safe, and natural.

Let me know how it works for you and if you’ve got any tips to make this natural cleaner even better. Regular maintenance is the key to keeping those stunning stone counters looking their best, without the fuss of harsh chemicals.

Happy cleaning!
