Black granite water stains

I was wondering what should be used to get rid of hard, white crusty water stains around my bathroom sink that is black granite. It also looks like a cloudy white color around my sink that is rough when I touch it. Thanks!
 

Dear Krystina:

By your description it sounds like you have a bad case of mineral deposits.

If that's the case, no problem: remove the worst with a razor blade (no, it will not scratch your stone) and then finish the job with a heavy-duty alkaline cleaner rated “for natural stone” with chelates in its formula, like MB-3.

If that won't work, you will need to have a stone restoration contractor to come over and determine the situation and the best course of action.

May I ask you now to please read and e-sign our Statement of Purpose at: http://www.marblecleaning.org/purpose.htm?

Ciao and good luck,

Mauri z io Bertoli
