This stuff is wonderful. It makes my granite sparkle. Just a quick spritz and wipe, and my counters are clean, shiny, and de-greased. An added plus? It is virtually odorless.

I've used a lot of different granite cleaners, but 409 Natural Stone Cleaner is by far my favorite. Not only it is the most effective granite cleaner I have found, it is also very reasonably priced compared to other specialty granite cleaners. I won't use anything else.

I really like this product. It makes my granite counters, backsplashes, and floor tile look and feel the way I want them, with no obnoxious fumes.

Formula 409 products do an effective job of cleaning. This one is no exception.

My particular problem was I had been obsessing about how to clean the grout in my ceramic tile throughout a huge part of my house. I tried 10-15 products, trying to find something I could spray and then use my steam cleaner to clean up, with no scrubbing. Amazingly, this did it! It didn't even require the steam mop. I wasn't expecting good results from it, but since I'm doing my own personal study of grout cleaners, I saw it and decided to try it on one square of my kitchen.

It doesn't have obnoxious fumes and I kept thinking as I was using it that it was kind of a pleasant product compared to some of the others.

Some of my notes about grout cleaning:

GROUT CLEANING:

Many of these products made me concerned about having children and/or pets in the area after I used them.

Oxi-Clean works, but takes scrubbing and is a little difficult to remove.
SHOUT! - Does work. Requires scrubbing and repeat applications
SoftScrub with Bleach - Works, but bleaches tile and grout and STINKS!. Great for WHITE tile/grout. *
Clorox Cleanup - Doesn't really clean the grout, but stinks!
Scrubbing Bubbles - Doesn't work for my project.
SoftScrub (plain) doesn't work for my project.
Spray and Wash - Doesn't work for my project.
Zep requires scrubbing and has a strong odor.
Hoover Grout Cleaner requires scrubbing, has a fairly nice odor; otherwise okay.

This product works so well on our granite counter tops...better than anything else we have used. It leaves our countertops clean and shining with no dulling film. I am having difficulty finding it and that is my only complaint.

I write this review as a challenge: to anyone who can find a better Granite cleaner in double the price range please let me know, because in my opinion this is simply the best. I spray a generous amount on my black granite and it shines up like glass and is streak-free and clean to the touch. This cleaner is FAR superior to those off-brand high end solutions that cost twice as much and perform half as well. I kid you not, when I buy this cleaner I get 3 bottles at a time -- I would never want to run out. Thank you 409 for creating the perfect Granite cleaner, you have a client for life.

This product works as it describes and does not leave an oily residue, as some we have tried in the past. However, it doesn't leave them as shiny as I had hoped.

This stuff is incredible. We have all marble kitchen counters and a lot of marble in the bathrooms. This stuff cleans like nothing else. The one problem I have is that nowhere on the bottle does it say what's in it! It tells you what it doesn't have, "no phosphates, no ammonia" but what am I actually using here?

I have used many products and could not get my counter streak free. I found this the other day at Target and decided to give it a try. I'm very happy with the results! The granite is shiny, no residue or film and No streaking! I'm going to stock up!

Works great on my marble, granite, slate and travertine surfaces, all with a variety of finishes. I'm very pleased with it. Do note that as of this writing that for just 4X the cost of one bottle and shipping, Amazon will sell you a case of twelve! I think I paid less than $41 for the 12 pack! What a deal!
