I recommend creating a paste out of hydrogen peroxide and whitening powder. You can mix them together in a disposable container, such as an old food storage container you no longer need.

Question

Do granite sinks scratch?

Community Answer

This depends on the type of granite that you are working with. Natural granite will require a special sealer to protect it; without this sealer, it will scratch. Composite granite, however, is resistant to scratching and does not require a sealer.

How do I restore shine to a dull granite sink?

Community Answer

Give it a good scrubbing with a nylon scouring pad with a bit of baking soda. Allow it to dry completely for at least an hour, then apply a thin coat of sealer.

Question

I have a chocolate brown sink that I cleaned with pine sol and water, and now it always looks cloudy when it dries. What should I do?

This is most likely due to "etching," which occurs when you use abrasive products on granite. This is a pretty complex issue, it would be best to call out a stone-care consultant for a direct guide on how to deal with this. They tend to give assistance for these sorts of issues via phone, so call first.

Question

How can I remove a bleach stain from a black granite sink?

Community Answer

Rinse the area with water, then mix baking soda and water to make a paste. Apply the paste to the stain and let it sit for a few minutes, then gently scrub the paste into the stain using a soft-bristled brush or non-abrasive sponge. Rinse the sink with water and repeat the process if necessary. If the stain persists, try using a mixture of equal parts hydrogen peroxide and water. Saturate the stain with the mixture and cover the area with plastic wrap for several hours. Finally, remove the plastic wrap and rinse the sink thoroughly with water. Always test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area of the sink first.
