I started pouring a little vinegar around my faucets in kitchen and bathroom, permit sit for a few mins, and wipe clean with paper towels. I dont know if this can be done on granite, just i know it works well on stainless steel and whatever the bathroom sink is.

What you have sounds to me like lime buildup from your water supply. The reason I think that is considering it comes back. I always use a soft old toothbrush to make clean the crevices around my faucets and sinks. Any cleaner volition do, but window cleaner is good. Dont use anything abrasive on your fixtures or countertops.. It may scracth them.

Whenever yous need to "scrub" apply liquid with it as a lubricant. As well, you might endeavor dental floss effectually your faucets. I've read about that, but never had to utilise it. I'k in love with my erstwhile, soft toothbrushes.. I put them in the dishwasher to make clean them after I clean with them...
Best of luck.

I doubtable that is calcium deposit. Check to see if CLR, or its equivalent, is safety on granite.

DON'T Employ VINEGAR ON GRANITE, as it eats the finish put on at the time of installation. To clean white hardwater stains or anything else gucky that gets stuck on, slide a razor scrapper around, don't gouge with the razor corners.

After scraping, rinsing and drying, polish with spray Pledge. This will keep it looking practiced for a while. This has to become part of the regular cleaning regimen. The harder the water, the more often. Our granite installer told me this. Too he said to never use vinegar or lemon juice as that volition eat the finish.

I just realized how badly I have OCD! LOL! I've been sitting on my figurer for an hr looking up comments on how to clean! Oh my. Thanks for the suggestions ladies.

I take the same problem. I used a toothbrush and it seems to piece of work for a while. It's something that y'all should do at least one time a month to prevent stains reappearing.

Stay away from window cleaner or even vinegar! Annihilation that is near granite must be pH netural so no acids and window cleaner usually includes ammonia. Scrape with a straight border razor and so utilize a mixture of h2o, rubbing alchohol and a speck of DAWN detergent. That is what I have plant in my travels searching for homemade granite cleaner. A tile lady told me that regularly using the hottest water possible to clean the counters works followed past a dry microfibre towel.
