Granite Stain

[Doug Cox]

So I have a stain on my granite countertop from delimer. Is there anything I can use to remove it or am I toast.

I suppose by "delimer" you mean oily delimonene, and not an acidic lime scale remover.

Try a poultice.

No, I mean lime scale remover, like CLR.

Is it black?.

No, I can just see where the delimer/water mixture sat on the countertopand left a water stain. Not really a discoloration. It doesn't appear to be dull on the surface either.

This could be polished out using a variable speed ahnd drill / griner / buffer using diamond bonded resin pads.

Not a job for a beginner, but it can be done.

BTW - Granite is not really sensitive to acid. So this is a stain likely caused by the liquid penetrating the granite. A poultice such as Stain Absorb for Stone might help somewhat, depending on how porous the granite it.

It also demonstrates the need for sealign granite, which some wrongly beleive is not very porous and does not need sealing.

Scott nailed it!
