Granite benchtops will need cleaning frequently and anytime there are spills, both dry and liquid. To clean it properly, use stone soap that is specifically designed for granite. You can also use cleaning solutions that are made for sealed products. Apply a small amount to a wet cloth and wipe down the granite.
Once it is completely cleaned, you will want to use another wet cloth and wipe off any soap residue. Once that is complete, you will then want to use a dry cloth to dry the granite thoroughly. This should be done on a daily basis, and anytime something is spilled on the granite. If there are any stains, you can apply a paste of two teaspoons stone soap and one cup flour onto the stain and allow it to sit overnight. Wipe off the paste and scrub it thoroughly, then dry it immediately.
