Granite countertop discoloration.
The granite may darken or lighten in color when the water is absorbed into the stone.
Granite maintenance tips our granite offerings are warranty protected and treated with a sealant to defend against staining and discoloration.
Once the water based components evaporate the pigments or the dyes can seep into the surface leaving harsh stains.
To maintain granite simply use mild soap and water but avoid ammonia based solutions.
Our granite poultice is specifically formulated to work below the granite s surface and pull out grease and oil plus food and beverages that have penetrated into the granite pores.
The porous granite soaks colors and dyes often resulting in stains after lots of use or exposure to some fluids or objects such as oil based cosmetics food colored drinks and metal objects.
The best thing to do to protect your granite countertops from stains is to clean up spills as soon as they happen.
Watch those dark dull and discolored areas of your kitchen granite countertops and islands disappear and come back to life.
Even a completely sealed granite countertop can stain if a spill is left to sit for long enough.
But substances like cooking oils that don t evaporate can cause permanent stains if they re allowed to soak into the stone.
To prevent this absorption from happening in the first place it is necessary to seal the surface of the granite with a high quality sealer.
However once the water evaporates the color of the stone should return to normal.
However not all granite worktops respond equally to pigments.
We have finally developed a granite poultice which removes deeply embedded stains and discoloration from kitchen granite countertops and islands.
Just like oil ink or markers can lead to stains and discoloration in a granite worktop.
Emotions can run as high as the price tag when these surface problems appear and often its assumed that the sealer was incorrectly applied or that the material is defective or substandard.
When water seeps into your granite countertop it leaves a dark spot that evaporates in a few minutes and returns to normal.
