Letter 20312 +++ Did anyone receive a response regarding cooking oil stains on granite? I have the same problem. Deb M
Hi, Deb. I don't have granite counters myself, so I can't answer. But readers recommended StoneTech Oil Stain Remover ==> ... and some other approaches in Letter 11303. Good luck. Regards, |

+++ Hi, Responding to the question on countertop stains. I read this on a website. Does Granite stain? For the most part, granite does not stain. While it is true that stone is a porous material, of all the stones, Granite is the least porous. A sealer is also applied to the stone when it is installed to further protect it from this possibility. Water left on a Granite countertop for a long period of time will show evidence of moisture. It will however evaporate and the "dark spot" will disappear. Oil left on a Granite surface will slowly be absorbed into the stone. It is recommended that any spills be wiped up when they occur. If the spill is not caught in time and a stain does occur, a poultice may be applied to draw the oil back out of the stone. Over time the oil will naturally redistribute itself in the stone until it becomes virtually undetectable. Dee Gornowicz
++++ Hi, Does anyone know the least-porous granite colour for a kitchen countertop? I cook with many Asian spices(curry,etc) which cause staining. Anita J
