Hi Tom,

I was cleaning my Ubituba granite countertop with water and a microfiber cloth, (my usual method of cleaning) and noticed some dull marks on the shiny surface. Earlier I was using Crazy Glue, and used a paper towel to protect the granite. I’m thinking that the glue was absorbed not only into the paper towel, but also into the granite. The granite is 5 years old, and was sealed last year. The dull marks are smooth to the touch, yet dull and cloudy. How can I safely remove them from the granite without harming the stone? Thank you in advance for your response.

Hi Terry,

The active ingredient in Crazy Glue is cyanoacrylics, so what you need is 100% Acetone. This will not harm the granite at all but you will want to reseal the granite after cleaning with this because it will all remove the sealer. The process should be very easy for you to do and Acetone can be found at your local hardware store.

Best wishes,
Tom Cordova
