Go Naked- Method Brand Counter Cleaner

So, last year my hubby (Phil- that Harley riding, bar loving, ready-to-rumble man o'mine) and I tested our marriage to its limit and built our own home. Looking back, we try to see the glory of it and tell one another- it wasn't that bad. But it was, oh my, it was that bad! From the trained monkey comments, to the swears of redoing the kitchen if he didn't like it, the best aspects of my hubby and me were not always present.

When it came to designing the kitchen, I would say Stan the Cabinet Man saw at least a dozen different ideas. I cried so much my eyes are still swollen, I was sent to a cardiologist because my anxiety levels were so high, I had an irregular heartbeat- all over a freaking kitchen! (I won't even start in on the flooring- yet) After all, this was to be my dream kitchen- the kitchen I would make family meals in, talk to the girls about boys and school and boys and clothes and boys in. Anyway, final plan included a big beautiful island with black granite. Oh I loved the black granite idea- that architectural idea to make the kitchen POP!

Six months into the house- oh how I hate the black granite- what the heck was I thinking? Black shows EVERYTHING- every glass ring, every speck or crumb- it shows. I have tried cleaner after cleaner, and guess what? On black granite, they all leave this cloudy film that makes the granite look really gross. Even the granite 'polish' makes me think of my island as a petri dish and not the piece of architectural beauty it was intended to be. I would polish, I would scream, I would cry- but no avail- I was destined to have a $2000 petri dish. (insert deep sigh here)

One day I was in Target, once again pouring over the cleaners in the cleaning aisle, lamenting that I had tried just about every one there- when suddenly, a label caught my eye. "Go Naked". Come on, who would not be drawn to a label of "Go Naked". I controlled my x-rated thoughts, and read the label. It was claiming to not leave a film, yet clean any surface with only natural ingredients- hence the 'go naked' part. All claims I had heard before. The price was steep, the bottle amount small, but I thought, hell, I have tried everything else!

I kid you not, the first time I used the stuff the skies parted and the Angels sang. This stuff rocks! It cleans the granite- no streaks, no goo, no film- Petri Dish GONE! It smells awesome too. My only gripe about the product is that Method does not make a refill bottle, so you do have to pay the high price for the small bottle everytime you run out.
