My aunt just bought a new house and in the kitchen she has either granite or marble. When she mops after it leaves streaks. What can can she do or use to have no streaks?

What can I do next?

ugh. So pretty but hard to keep up. It's so easy to tell when all the dust is there. The only thing I did was use a towel right after and dance around the floor until it was dry. Hopefully you can get some better tips than that.

I have granite counter tops and I buy products made for them at Home Depot.
Go to Lowes or Home Depot, talk to one or two salespeople there for a recommendation of products, they are pretty knowledgeable and they will have the best selection.

I use a vinegar and water solution on my tile floors and my granite counter tops. It cleans great and leaves a nice shine. Plus I've heard that vinegar acts as a disinfectant.

Use the H2O mop. It works great I bought it off of TV. I'm sure their or other types of steam products you could find but I just love the easy way this mop works. I have no connection with the makers of this product.

I used to work for a company that sold natural stone tile, the link above is to the website for products we would use. I don't know if they still sell it here in town, but you might want to call around. We used it in our showroom as well to clean the floors.

OK I HAVE LOTS OF MARBLE & MIGHT CAN HELP. TO MOP USE ONLY WARM WATER WITH SMALL AMOUNT OF VINEGAR IN IT. WINDEX IS ALSO GOOD. THIS CAME FROM GUYS WHO INSTALLED MY MARBLE. HOPE THIS HELPS.
