Granite in Mallorca – robust, versatile and timelessly beautiful
Granite is one of the most resistant natural stones of all and can be found in many residential and outdoor areas in Mallorca . Whether as an elegant kitchen worktop, representative floor covering or decorative element in the outdoor area – granite convinces with its high hardness, scratch resistance and unique appearance. In this article , you will get an overview of the special features of granite, typical challenges in maintenance and the services that will help you to preserve your natural stone in the long term.
Why granite is so popular
Granite is formed by the cooling of magma deep below the earth’s surface, which explains its great hardness and durability. Its grain and colouring vary depending on the mineral composition – from subtle shades of grey to expressive patterns, everything is conceivable. In Mallorca , granite is particularly popular for terraces, pool surrounds or kitchen countertops, as it is both visually appealing and extremely easy to maintain. However, “easy to maintain” does not mean that it does not need regular attention: dirt, UV radiation and moisture can affect the stone over time.
Typical challenges in granite care
Despite its enormous hardness, granite can also show signs of wear and tear in everyday life. Especially in highly frequented areas, dull spots or fine scratches occasionally occur. In addition, although granite is less absorbent than, for example, marble, stains can still occur with prolonged contact with strongly colouring substances. Stubborn deposits such as limescale marks in the bathroom and pool area or grease stains in the kitchen are also among the classic challenges.
To ensure that your granite shines in the long term, we recommend tailor-made care – from intensive cleaning to impregnation that protects the stone from stains and moisture.

Depending on the condition of the stone and your personal requirements, various renovation and finishing techniques are possible:
- Granite cleaning: Thorough cleaning is the basis for every further step. Special cleaning agents remove deep-seated dirt and loosen old care product residues without damaging the stone.
- Granite Polishing: Modern machines are used to refine the surface so that scratches disappear and the stone shines in its natural shine. Polishing is ideal for kitchen countertops or representative floor areas.
- Granite impregnation: To prevent stains in the long term, high-quality impregnating agents penetrate the pores of the stone. This keeps granite breathable, but absorbs less moisture or dirt.
- Granite Diamond Brushes: If you prefer a slightly textured, non-slip surface, diamond brushing offers an excellent alternative to polishing. It gives your granite a subtle, rustic touch.
Tips for daily care
Achieve an optimal result with minimal effort:
- Regularly sweep or mop: Remove sand and dust to prevent scratches from small particles.
- Mild detergents: Use pH-neutral products, as acidic or aggressive agents can attack the stone.
- Remove stains immediately: Especially with oils, wine or acidic substances, you should react quickly so that nothing penetrates deep into the rock.
- Gentle utensils: Microfiber cloths and soft sponges prevent scratches and are ideal for daily cleaning.

Cleaning granite floors
In order to clean your granite floor optimally, we use special cleaning agents for use on granite. The choice also depends on how dirty the granite floor is. In the wet process and with different pads or brushes, we give your floor an attractive look. Of course, we suck off the liquid at the same time with a wet vacuum cleaner.
Polishing granite floors
For granite floors, polishing is the most recommended finishing process and can be used without any chemicals if desired. After the final polishing of the granite, additional crystallization of the granite floor, as is possible with marble floors and terrazzo floors, is not necessary, as granite naturally has a hard surface.
