common source of stains on granite is dirt and debris. A spill or something else has left some grime and dirt, which transfers to your granite surface (if not washed away immediately). Suppose you&#8217;ve ever walked into the kitchen and seen a spot on your countertop that looked like it could use a good cleaning. To understand how to remove stains from granite, it is important to consider why granite is stained in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Stain-on-granite.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4758\" src=\"http:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Stain-on-granite.jpg\" alt=\"stain on granite\" width=\"700\" height=\"419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Stain-on-granite.jpg 700w, https:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Stain-on-granite-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you have drink or food stains on your countertops, they may have been caused by pet hair or other similar things\u2014but something else can also cause them.

They can be difficult to remove, especially when many of them are in your kitchen or bathroom. Let&#8217;s look at the steps to clean this stain off of the granite.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Using-lemon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4765\" src=\"http:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Using-lemon.jpg\" alt=\"using lemon\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Using-lemon.jpg 700w, https:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Using-lemon-300x214.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">First and foremost, dilute the bleach properly before applying it to granite surfaces. You don&#8217;t want any harsh chemicals on such an expensive surface! Begin by pouring about two cups of water into a bowl and adding 1\/4 cup of vinegar or lemon juice. Then add some dishwashing liquid (1 tablespoon will do). Mix the ingredients well till a thick paste-like substance is formed; this will help dilute the liquid so that it doesn&#8217;t damage any part of your granite surface while removing stains from it simultaneously!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cleaning-using-cloth.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4767\" src=\"http:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cleaning-using-cloth.jpg\" alt=\"cleaning using cloth\" width=\"700\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cleaning-using-cloth.jpg 700w, https:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cleaning-using-cloth-300x212.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Next up: use paper towels instead of cloth ones because they&#8217;re less likely to leave lint residue after being removed from their source area(s)! Trust me when I say how much money would go into replacing just one piece! If you absolutely must use cloth towels, then make sure those aren&#8217;t too rough against whatever material gets stained first because this could cause permanent damage over time if left untreated long enough-and.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Remove_Paint_Stains\"><\/span><strong>Remove Paint Stains<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Use a mixture of water and dishwashing liquid.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/cleaning-using-dish-soap-and-water.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4766\" src=\"http:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/cleaning-using-dish-soap-and-water.jpg\" alt=\"cleaning using dish soap and water\" width=\"700\" height=\"492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/cleaning-using-dish-soap-and-water.jpg 700w, https:\/\/primestonegranite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/cleaning-using-dish-soap-and-water-300x211.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If the stain is still there, try again.
