Hi,

Can you recommend a good product to remove mineral deposits from our granite countertop?

Is it safe to use CLR or Lime-Away? It's not immediately clear from the information on the bottle whether this would damage the stone.

Thanks,
Dave

No one has any ideas for removing water deposits from granite countertops?

I think if you will proper cleaning of granite countertop so it always be shiny, keeping it fresh and make sure that it is for all time free of stain. Granite can easily be preserve by mop up any spillage, always cleaning the countertop with hot soapy water and exposure to air it with a soft cloth if possible white.

Yes, we try to keep the granite as clean as possible, but there is definitely a substance that you can feel with your hand on the granite that I cannot remove with any cleaner so far.

Still would appreciate any ideas,

Thanks,
Dave

My fabricator told me that if my Granite Counter gets easily stained by water, it is an indication of weakening sealer. I would recommend you ask your fabricator to check it out and seal it if necessary. For an alternative, here's what I do with limescale stains: I place a paper towel with vinegar on the limescale and let it set for 15 minutes. Then using a single-bladed razor, gently scrape the lime deposits and scrub it with a fine steel wool. Finally, I mix two parts baking soda to one part water to form into paste. Rub the mixture on the lime deposits then rinse thouroughly with water. But I still suggest that you hire a trained professional or call your fabricator.

This is similar to what I have done since I first posted this thread, but haven't used steel wool. Since I'm able to clean it just using vinegar and baking soda, I'd recommend not using something as abrasive as even fine steel wool before trying without it first.
