Lemon slice test

I have seen many references to your lemon slice test, but I can't find out what it actually is. Can you please tell me how to perform this test on my granite countertop?
 

Dear Sarah:

My little lemon juice (and oil test) is meant to help shoppers determining on their own as to whether or not the “granites” they are considering could be suitable or not as a kitchen countertop. Running the test on a countertop already installed is totally meaningless.

The test is included in details in the article that we have available on pay-per-download in the Educational Literature section of our website at: http://www.marblecleaning.org/literature.htm

Since it appears to me that your countertop was already installed, I would suggest you to forget about the belated lemon juice test and concentrate on learning on how to take care of it. What you will be using to care for it every day is paramount! By logging into the Helpful Hints section of our website at: http://www.marblecleaning.org/helpful-hints.htm , you will be able to get the short version of our maintenance guidelines at no charge.
