Check with your contractor how you can waterproof your granite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now i buy a big and cheap spotlight to shine at and heat the stone. Hopefully it will acceralate the evaporation process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully it will acceralate the evaporation process.Granite darken after the water is absorbed into the stone is equal to hardwater stain. You can try apply granite sealer for waterproofing after you get the hardwater stain off. Btw, have you even try using white vinegar? If money no issue to you, you can consider changing your granite to quartz surface. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
