Dear Judy:
“
Is there really a fix for this problem?
”
No. Your “granite” was either maliciously doctored by the factory or it's a stone that's sensitive to acidic substances. Either way, there's nothing that can be done this side of a total replacement.
“
Do you have any idea what they are likely to be trying?
”
No, I have no idea; but if I were you I would not allow them to try anything. Not only would it be only a temporary fix, but also the main fact is that no mercantile granite should ever by finished with any topical finish of sort. It should only be finished mechanically by abrasion and friction – like gemstone – it should not be sensitive to acidic substances, and that is that. Anything else is quackery and fraud.
Do not accept any compromise, stand your ground and tell them that's high time that they become professional and get to know what they selling for a change.
Does the world need marblecleaning.org or what?!
