Granite Help

ingypeters

Hi,I have a white granite countertop (not marble) that has started to discolour around the edges. I've had a few "experts" look at pictures but nobody can help. The area that is discoloured is slightly darker. It has occurred around the edge on the side of the island that has has the most use - where the kids sit and touch the edges. On the side of the island that has little use, there is no staining. It is not a glue issue. Also, the darker, discoloured area is still shiny.

Any advice on how to remove the discolouration?

    Same problem with differing opinions on the cause. The last post on the thread by "jacobs" seems to make the most sense to me. Given that your staining in on the oft-used side, could it be that this edge get wiped down more often & thoroughly than the rest of the counter?

    Hope that is helps:

      Is someone cleaning the counter by spraying cleaning products on the edge and onto the underside that is not protected?

      No cleaning products used other than warm water and a dry towel

      Someone else had that same problem, maybe a year ago or so? I can't remember the thread title though. The stone is called White Macaubus and searching that might help find it. Also, it's quartzite, not granite, but it's an awesome stone. I don't think the other person ever found a resolution or even a cause to this problem. Good luck - I hope you can figure it out!

      That appears to be, as the link above suggests, simply moisture in the stone. All natural stones are porous, and Macaubas is no exception. Use less water when cleaning perhaps. Potentially a cleaner rather than water. Method makes a stone safe cleaner that works well.

      This is contamination from use. Get a poultice from a stone supplier and follow the instructions. May take several applications; good luck.

      Yes, it's definitely not moisture as we've dried it for weeks - while away on vacation and it was still there. Will try the poultice for a supplier. Tried a homemade one and it wasn't as successful.

      Yes this an oil stain to the granite, all white granites will show a grey stain from it. Joseph has advised how to remove.

      Though you will need to seal the stone to stop it coming back.
