1Granite Gold Family History Granite Gold Inc. is
a family company with a long history of stone
care expertise that spans three generations,
dating back to the 1950s. Co-founders and cousins
Lenny Sciarrino and Lenny Pellegrino grew up in
the family business, manufacturing, installing
and restoring stone surfaces in homes and
businesses throughout Southern California. Their
passion for stone care is in the family blood
lines. Their grandfather, Leonardo, came to the
United States in the 1950s, bringing with him an
Italian heritage known for expertise in the stone
industry that he passed on to generations. Lenny
S. father, Pete, spent 10 years learning the art
of fabrication and installation before opening
his own company with his wife, Kathy, in 1978.
That family business, European Wholesale
Countertops, is where the cousins were taught the
craft Lenny S. learned all there is to know
about fabrication and installation of natural
stone Lenny P. took that training in building
Pellegrino Stone Care, founding it more than 20
years ago to address the restoration and
maintenance end of stone care. The
Beginning While the Lennys were in the family
businesses manufacturing, installing and
restoring stone surfaces, time and again,
customers wouldask ?What should) use to
cleanmystone?? There really wasnt anything in
the market they could recommend with confidence.
Common household cleaners will damage natural
stone, and anything marketed specifically for use
on stone either left streaks and fingerprints or
wasnt readily available for our customers to
easily purchase. Mild dish soap and water was all
the cousins would recommend, and it still wasnt
the best answer. With the answer in hand, the
cousins werefilling bottles andhandwriting
?Cleaner?or ?Polish?on them, givingthem away
after finishing restoration and installation
projects. That soon led customers returning,
asking for more of the magic formula. Granite
Gold Inc. was formed in 2003, and in 2004 the
Lennys set out to bring Granite Gold brand
granite cleaners and other stone-care products to
a mass consumer audience. The Future Desire for
Granite Gold brand granite cleaners and other
stone-care products and advice and knowledge
continues to grow year after year, and today
Granite Gold is available in grocery, hardware,
mass merchant and specialty store channels
throughout the U.S. and internationally.

Care Cleaning limestone, travertine or slate
the most popular natural stones for outdoor uses
such as walks and patios require just as much
care and attention to detail as granite or other
natural stone inside the home. Like common
cleaning products for chores in the home, similar
ones promising to clean all surfaces outside the
home pose a risk to the durability and beauty of
outdoor stone surfaces. On top of that, most are
harmful to pets, plants and home exteriors. Here
are a few more tips to maintain your outdoor
stone walkways, patios and ornate
landscapes Frequently sealing your outdoor
stone surfaces will provide maximum surface
protection against spills, stains and
etching When moving outdoor furniture, lift
instead of sliding, which can scratch and damage
stone Use a nylon brush when cleaning to agitate
dirt and grime. Most other brushes are too
abrasive on stone Immediately remove fallen
debris such as leaves, flowers and other plants
from stone surfaces. Theyll deteriorate and can
stain the surfaces
