Granite Sealer Advice - Grease Spots
Hi Tom, We have had some granite countertops partly installed and they gave us no info on “care of” and we have two grease spots that don’t fade away but if we have a water spot it fades away. Are we supposed to put a sealer on and what is best? Thank you, Kathy F.
Hello Kathy, I have written a helpful article here, about granite sealer, that should be helpful to you. Secondly, to clean a grease stain, try a solution of Ivory soap with a plastic scrub brush. If that does not completely do it, then you should try a commercial degreaser found at a cleaning supply store. You need to treat the stain quickly or it will be too late.

We just installed Ubituba. Our installer sealed and then put a wax on top of sealer like a car wax. My husband sat a hot pot on top of the granite and it left a ring. Is there anything you can tell us to do for this? It was our understanding hot pots could be placed on granite. Please advise.

Tom, We installed medium color granite countertops(Aruba was the name)in our kitchen ~2 years ago. And the area on both sides of the stowe has darken. We have had the installers out several times. There comment was we have used a harsh chemical and that is not true. We usually wipe down the countertop with water/windex or maybe a little clorox diluted with water from the dish water. The same would have been used for the entire kitchen countertops which has not been affected. What do you recommend/how can I restore the dark areas around the stowe?
