Stuart,
Pictures, Pictures we need pictures ! this helps identify the
problem and allows us to give you a better answers as to what to do.
I would approach this job the following way.
1. I would
first use a single edge razor blade and scrap the area to see if remove
anything.
2. Then I
would attempt using a mid acid based cleaner, PLEASE PROTECT THE FITURES
USING TAPE
3. After
using the acid cleaner then use a neutral cleaner to neutralize the acid
4. Then check
to see if the material have been remove , if necessary repeat the cleaning
process.
5. Seal with
a darkening or color enhancing seal.
6. If that
above does not work , remove the fixtures and hone and repolish
NOTE : IF FIXTURES
NEED TO BE REMOVED I WOULD RECOMMEND A PLUMBER REMOVE THEM. IF A LEAK DEVELOPES
YOU WILL BE THE ONE HELD RESPONSIBLE , EVEN IF THEY START LEAKING WEEKS AFTER
YOU PERFORMED YOUR WORK. I WOULD NOT WANT THAT LIBIABITY .

Subject: [sccpartners] Black granite
|
I just looked at a small granite slab in a bathroom
vanity. The granite is discolored around the hot and cold water fixtures.
It looks like water marks. It feels etched. The granite is lighter in color
in those areas. How can we remove these marks and prevent further
discoloration? |
