I just installed absolute black granite in the kitchen.
Water spots on black granite.
This type of stain may cause your granite to look darker or lighter in the area that has been exposed to too much moisture.
Water stains are one of the most common sources of stains on granite countertops and they generally occur in two forms.
Black galaxy granite is as a general rule very stain resistant.
Mix these ingredients in a bowl until it forms a thick paste.
Just test first before you dump a bunch on your granite.
It is quite possibly the most bullet proof surface on the market.
If it is in fact water and not an acidic liquid like wine it will dry and evaporate.
Most liquids substances will evaporate before they d ever stain so there s rarely an issue cleaning granite countertops with black galaxy.
Start rubbing at the water stain on the granite.
When hard water sits on a granite surface and dries it leaves a visible mineral deposit that often creates white rings especially around faucets.
Granite doesn t etch easy but dried sealer on granite countertops will often etch.
The water spots are likely etch marks in the granite sealer left on the surface.
You shouldn t have to scrub hard.
In fact black galaxy typically cannot be sealed.
A soft cloth a sharp razor blade granite cleaner gloves denatured alcohol dish wash detergent water baking soda white vinegar paper towels.
You can see below my hard water stains.
Removing water stains from granite typically involves the use of a poultice.
Once the sealer is stripped off the surface your water marks should be gone and the surface back to normal.
I knew it would require upkeep and i was sure that i could handle it chronic polish and wiper already what i didn t expect was the outline of my coffee cup that seems to be under the sealed surface any ideas.
Once you have tested your granite then apply a small amount of bar keepers friend to a microfiber cloth.
Once this happens apply the solution to the stain.
The granite wasn t even shiny because of the stains coating it.
