Universal Stone is an eco-friendly, all-natural multi-purpose cleaning and polishing paste. By wetting the included sponge and rubbing it over the dry paste to create a foam, it effectively cleans, polishes, and protects hundreds of surfaces—from kitchen stovetops and jewelry to cars and patio furniture—in a single step.
With a seemingly endless amount of harmful products available on the market, we knew there had to be a better solution. Our all-natural, eco-friendly cleaner is made from just six ingredients: soap flakes, green soap, vegetable oil, glycerin, polishing clay earth, and natural lemon oils.
Though it is powerful, Universal Stone is completely non-abrasive making it the ideal cleaner for surfaces like your car.
Yes, you can use Dawn dish soap on natural stone. Because it is pH-neutral, gentle, and an effective degreaser, it won't etch or damage delicate surfaces like marble, granite, or travertine.
Answer. Yes, Dawn soap can be used to clean pavers. Mix a few drops of Dawn with water, scrub the surface with a brush, and rinse thoroughly. However, for tough stains or large areas, a specialized paver cleaner may be more effective.
Gentle cleaning of floors, furniture, wood, tiles and sanitary facilities. The gentle pH-skin neutral formula is gentle to skin and materials - even with frequent use.
Bottom Line. Murphy's Oil Soap isn't a replacement for a high-quality, stone-safe pH-neutral cleaner (like the ones we recommend). But in a pinch, with proper dilution and rinsing, it can safely clean certain natural stone surfaces without causing damage.
Hotels keep glass shower doors spotless by combining strong commercial cleaning agents with routine maintenance and smart preventative coatings. Because they deal with heavy daily guest turnover, housekeeping staff rely on quick but highly effective strategies to prevent soap scum and hard water buildup.
Dish soap has the ability to lubricate and break down the bonds of fats and grease. When poured into the toilet, dish soap helps lubricate the waste causing the clog, while also breaking down its structure, allowing it to easily flow down the drain.
Stone cleaners should never contain acid or bleach. Acids, even a light solution of vinegar and water, will etch and eventually damage many varieties of natural stone. A solution of the pH neutral cleaner and water mixed to manufacturer instructions should be applied to the stone surface with a sponge or spray bottle.
TL;DR: Universal Cleaner contains two ingredients: potassium hydroxide and reverse osmosis water. Formulated at pH 12.5 with an 18-month shelf life from manufacture.
You should also avoid cleaners that contain ammonia on your quartz countertops. They have a high pH value that is not suitable for quartz. Such cleaners can also lessen the bond between the materials and make your countertops less resistant to staining. Avoid using sharp objects to remove any buildup of food residue.
House cleaners create that coveted "fresh, clean" aroma not just by masking odors with artificial fragrances, but by deeply sanitizing, eliminating odor sources at the molecular level, and incorporating targeted natural or botanical scents.
Hibachi chefs primarily use water or ice, a heavy-duty metal scraper, and a grill brick to clean their flat-top grills. Instead of using harsh chemical detergents, they rely on heat and steam to lift stuck-on grease and food.
Never use acidic, alkaline, or abrasive substances on granite countertops. These harsh cleaners—like vinegar, lemon, bleach, ammonia, and glass cleaners—break down the stone's protective sealant, leaving it vulnerable to stains and dull spots.
Towels are the most commonly stolen item from hotels, with nearly 88% of hotel staff and owners reporting they frequently disappear from guest rooms.
Avoid harsh chemicals (like bleach, acetone, and lye) and abrasive scrubbers (like steel wool, scouring pads, and dry magic erasers). These damage protective glass coatings and create microscopic scratches that trap dirt. Also skip bar soaps, as their animal fats create 90% of your soap scum.
Travelers usually put tape over hotel outlets for two main reasons: to block distracting LED lights from electronic devices and ensure a dark room, or as a makeshift childproofing measure to prevent small children from poking foreign objects into the sockets.
Those crystals are the foundation of granite's reflective quality. The most important minerals responsible for sparkle are quartz and mica. Quartz crystals are naturally glassy and reflective. Mica, especially muscovite and biotite, produces tiny reflective flakes that shimmer under light.
To make your house smell amazing while mopping, use a simple DIY mix of hot water, 1 teaspoon of dish soap, and 5–10 drops of essential oils (like eucalyptus and lavender, or lemon and peppermint). If you prefer pre-made options, heavily scented commercial products like Clorox Scentiva Floor Cleaners work beautifully.
Yes, you can use Dawn dish soap on natural stone. Because it is pH-neutral, gentle, and an effective degreaser, it won't etch or damage delicate surfaces like marble, granite, or travertine.
Professional cleaners know that a timesaving secret is to vacuum every floor in the house, including bathrooms and the kitchen. It's the fastest and most efficient way to pick up dust, hair, and all the little bits of debris that like to hide in corners.
Hospital floor disinfectants are typically broad-spectrum, hospital-grade chemical solutions meant to kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The most common types are quaternary ammonium compounds ("quats"), phenolics, and hydrogen peroxide-based formulas, which are often used as neutral pH cleaners to protect sensitive floor materials.
Universal Stone is made from all-natural basic ingredients, including soap flakes, green soap, vegetable oils, glycerin, clay and natural lemon oils. It is non-toxic, acid-free, fully biodegradable, phosphate-free, allergy and asthma-tested, and is safe for children and pets.
