Granite kitchen worktop problem

8 years ago

I have just moved into a house with Black Granite worktops. The sections by the sink and hob are stained and cloudy. The rest of the worktops are glossy and dark as they should be.

Does anyone know if I can rectify this myself or do I need a specialist?.

I have lived in a house with these before with absolutely no problem at all.

Many thanks

Hi,

I'm guessing you need to consult a professional granite dealer for this. Good luck, hope you'll find a solution.

Black & cream are wonderful colors, but they need an accent. I'd use a similar pink as the accent here & there. You chose pink flowers for the table! Paint chairs black. The curtains could be black & cream with a pink lining that shows just a bit or you can be more bold with the black + cream + pink theme.

A15) @Dara Cooke: If you can't afford a quartz or granite worktop from day one then I would recommend using a laminate worktop as a temporary solution. If you don't put tiles up as a backsplash then replacing the worktops can be relatively easy in a couple of years.

Hello, please can you share if you find a solution to this? We already have white marks on our new black granite worktop and I don't know why or how to fix it. Thank you

Hi

The granite worktops seemed to have sorted themselves out with regular cleaning.
I think the hard water was making them cloudy .

I gave some areas a hard rub with a metal scouter and and a cream cleaner which has removed the deposits.

I also clean them regularly with a dilute solution of distilled white vinegar sprayed on and then buffed with a soft lint free cloth.

I hope this helps.
