I had an oil based solvent soak into my granite countertop. It was an area 12 inches x 12 inches. I tried many other "home remedies" found on you tube, most of which made the spot expand!! Baking soda did not work. God bless you this one actually worked!! I had to do four applications but it worked. Spot is gone! Thank you thank you thank you!!
Guys! Somehow my oil leaked underneath the wood saucer I keep it on and stained my granite like 8”. I tried everything in all combinations; bleach, vinegar, acetone, baking soda… over last 4 days which did nothing. This got the whole thing out! IM SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS VIDEO!
Hi, I have made several attempts to remove 2 stains with no luck. If anything, it is spreading and getting darker. How many times did you try this process until it worked? I have new granite and can't believe this is stained already.
Will household peroxide work or do I have to use hair dressers? And can it be any type of flour? Update: this worked! Thank you so much. I had to do like 3 rounds but, it worked! Never delete this video lol
i put dishwashing soap and i cover it with plastic for 2 to 3 days after i put towel with very hot water for awail 3 or 4 times and i clean it very well with hot water and towel and let it dry the olive oil stain completely disappear .
My granite as turned darker on all the areas I clean daily. Things that I have on the counter that I don't move much, like my hand mixer, toaster oven, cutting board , when removing all these items the granite is the original color underneath...lighter...can I use this technique peroxide flour water for this? I was going to go with another suggestion of acetone instead of peroxide. But I would much rather work with peroxide, less fumes....it is a large area I would have to do.would you recommend we try it?? Or have something that might work better?? Please please please help us WE NEED YOU! If you have a minute can you let me know what,other treatmemts tried to be true and tested. I would so greatly appreciate it. Thank you so munch! Lori
If your counter turns a darker colour when you apply water, it usually means the sealer is no longer working to prevent oil or pollutants from entering the stone. If the cleaning rag has oil in it, you are likely spreading the oil over the unsealed surface areas which is common problem. The thicker the granite and the longer the oil sits on the surface, the harder it is to remove. The goal is to breakdown the oil, then pull it with an absorbent material. The higher the concentration of hydrogen peroxide the better, combined with water and flour. Acetone does not work. If the oil has been sitting in the stone for a long time, it will likely take weeks and dozens of applications to remove it. To learn more about granite care go to www.crsgranite.ca/care-warranty
CRS Granite & Cabinets Thank you so much for your timely reply even though it was depressing! Would you suggest darkening the light spots then to match the rest of the granite an then seal again? If so, How would that best be done? Baby oil?
@@crsremodeling1 I have watched a lot of videos, you seem to have the best feel for it. Weeks and dozens of applications...ok, that explains my issue, thanks. I had some backsplash pieces out in the backyard for a few years and they are stained by where they touched the ground.
I will let you know what I purchased in case it helps you or others. I don't think the Walmart/drugstore kind is strong enough because it is pretty watered down. (Ours for cleaning scrapes/minor cuts is 97% water!) I picked up a bottle from a beauty supply store, like he mentioned, and my label looks similar to his. An employee showed me what to get and said a lot of people buy it for my purpose (an oil stain on granite). My label reads "Salon Care Professional, 20 volume clear, regular lift." The ingredients are: water, hydrogen peroxide, and phosphoric acid. Caution: it says it can cause permanent eye damage, and keep it from your skin and clothes. I will give it a try and hopefully be back to share good results!
+CRS Granite & Cabinets Thank you, I will look for stone wax. I am trying to remove oil from my granite with baking soda and water paste. I came across this after I mixed up my paste. If that doesn't help I will be using your method for sure. Do you recommend a certain brand of sealer and wax?
