Granite fire place surround


Hi Maurizio, hopefully you can help me, my brother came round one day and decided to smear his ice lolly on my black granite fire surround which has left a permanent stain which has taken the shine away and made the whole area look very dull and you can even make out the brush strokes, which is very noticable compared to the rest, hopefully you have a solution.Many Thanks.
 
Sorry me again just thought this would help when we had our fire installed we were informed it is very soft granite, Thanks.
 

Dear Danielle:

 

hopefully you have a solution.

 

No; not only don't I have a solution, but I don't have a clue, either.

 

we were informed it is very soft granite

 

Well, then I'm afraid that you'd be better off consulting with NASA. Maybe they found some soft granite on the Red Planet over one of their missions, because on this little Blue Planet there's no such an animal as “soft” granite.

 

To tell you the truth, I don't think for a split second that you have “granite” at all! Probably some black marble or black limestone or black slate.

Your best bet is to consult with a reputable stone restoration contractor. Unfortunately, it is my understanding that in all of the UK there are only 9 of those, so I hope that you live near one.

Does the world need marblecleaning.org or what?!
