How to remove stains from granite benchtop?

I have stains on my granite bench they are white and the stone is dark grey. What can I do to remove them?

Hello @flower

Thank you for sharing your question about your granite benchtop.

I suggest using Glitz 750ml Stone And Benchtop Cleaner. It is specially formulated for the cleaning of granite, marble, and reconstituted stone surfaces. I recommend having a closer look at the white stains, are they embedded into the stone or are they paint stains? Acid-based cleaners often damage the finish and seal of the stone top. If they prove to be too tough and do not come off with regular cleaning, I suggest engaging the services of a professional stone polisher to clean and seal your top again. 

If you need more advice or information, please let us know.

Hi @flower,

I'm sure @EricL and other helpful Workshop members will be happy to suggest possible remedies.

Do you know what caused the stains? Have you tried anything so far to remove them?
