Due to its pH and the fat content, liquid soap when left in contact with granite counter tops can corrode and stain. If the area is stained, an application of baking soda or flour can draw the staining out. Just leave in contact for a minimum of 24 hours, cover the area in plastic wrap and wipe clean with plain water the following day. Be sure to dry the area completely.
Use natural granite cleaner. I always use natural cleaner or biodegradable soap with hot water to clean the granite. Then I use a natural cleaner intended specifically for granite. A few sprays and then a quick wipe with a microfibre cloth and the streaks are gone! I can’t comment on how it works, but it does!
I will use pledge with my microfibre cloth and it removes any water marks or streaks…
I have a light tan granite countertop and someone let the liquid hand soap drip down and sit on the countertop. Now is is stained and nothing seems to remove it. Any suggestions?
soap on granite
Sounds too simple, but…
Just soak a sponge with water (don’t ring out) and leave sponge on the soap stain until the water evaporates. When the granite dries from where the sponge was the stain will be gone. Don’t know why it worked, but it soaked the hand soap overspill right out of my granite counters.
