How to keep the granite clean?

Hi at all. I'm a young guy, working in this company since 2015, and i still have a lot to learn in metrology... Sometimes, as a young metrologist, i have some doubts, like, how do you keep your granite clean? I especially use alcohol.

Sorry for my english school.

  • Denatured alcohol (ethyl alcohol/ethanol) is great for getting it clean to the point of being an air hockey table. For actually cleaning, there are granite cleaners out there, but I am partial to Simple Green with a scotch-brite pad. I clean the CMM table with it, and then clean the bearing surfaces with the alcohol.

    For a granite inspection surface, you would probably want to clean the whole table with a cleaner and then finish it with an alcohol wipe down.
