Introducing Stonekind: Daily Stone Care Made Simple
Stone is one of the most beautiful and valuable materials you can bring into a home, but it’s also one of the most lived-on. Countertops take on the full pace of everyday life: busy mornings full of coffee spills, repeated impact from hearty casserole dishes, fingerprints covered in paint from school projects, and everything in between.
At Premier, stone is what we do, from start to finish. We study its structure, its natural character and behavior. We cut it, shape it, finish it, install it into the spaces where life happens, and arguably most importantly, we care for it. After almost two decades, one thing has always been clear: install isn’t the end of the story. It’s the beginning of how that stone gets used, lived on, and cared for over time.
That’s why we are incredibly excited to bring you Stonekind, our new pH-neutral daily cleaner made for natural and engineered stone surfaces, plus other hard surfaces like glass and stainless steel.
Why we’re launching Stonekind
We owe you more than just recommending a cleaner off the shelf. We wanted something that matched the level of care we put into the stone during fabrication and installation, something made for everyday use, without harsh chemicals that don’t belong on premium surfaces.
So we tested, a lot. We said no, a lot. We were picky. We tried formulas for months, looking for the right balance. A cleaner that feels good to use, performs consistently, and supports long-term quality of both natural and engineered stone surfaces. When we finally customized the formula to check all of our boxes, Stonekind became more than an idea, it became a natural extension of how we think about stone ownership. Because while a stone is selected for its beauty, it earns its value over years of use. Even the name is intentional, stone is durable, but it isn’t disposable. So stone care should be effective, but gentle, and the best results come from consistency, not harsh and abrasive chemicals.
Bring you a better cleaner
If you’ve ever searched for the ‘best cleaner for granite countertops’ and been frustrated by what you try, it’s probably because most ‘everyday’ cleaners aren’t created by stone experts but by major cleaning companies.
Some products clean aggressively and are great at removing marks, but they leave behind residue, haze or buildup. Others are just too harsh to use on premium surfaces long-term.
So Stonekind’s formula was specifically engineered for daily use, to clean effectively while still staying gentle on the surfaces you’ve invested in.
Stonekind is:
- pH-neutral
- Made for daily cleaning
- Strong enough for tough spots
- Gentle enough for premium care
- Safe and effective on other hard surfaces like stainless steel and glass
- Finished with a light and fresh scent
- Free of harsh chemicals
A simple, daily routine to keep stone looking its best
If you want stone to continue to look as beautiful as it did on installation day, consistency matters more than intensity.
Here’s the only routine you need:
- Wipe crumbs or debris first with a dry paper towel or cloth, so you don’t grind particles across the surface
- Lightly spray Stonekind to evenly coat the surface
- Wipe away with a microfiber cloth for best results
- For tough spots, let the product sit for 2-4 minutes before wiping
Stone is meant to be used, Stonekind makes that easier and keeps the surface looking the way it should. At Premier, we see it all: busy family life, lake homes full of gooey s’mores messes and red wine spills, new builds, remodels, and high traffic commercial spaces, all that need their surfaces to hold up to heavy use.
So, Stonekind was developed to fit reality. It’s not complicated and it doesn’t require special steps, it’s the kind of cleaner you can work into every day, your stone deserves that.
