Some people think that steel wool can clear it faster and effectively but it is not. We suggest you do not buy any kind of harsh material for Removing the stain.

2. Soap and vinegar

Soap is an effective item for Removing the stain from the sink. For that, you need to dampen the soap perfectly and put it on the scrubber. You also need some hot water for it.

4. Rinsing

After the scrubbing, you need to rinse the whole sink with fresh water. Lots of tools you can use for this job like a cup, bottles, hose pipe for spray water or the empty hand. Notice that, there is any kind of soap water is available or not.

If you are confused, then pour it and clean it again. You can also wipe it using some kind of sponge soft fabric.

5. Dry

After the washing session with clean water, it is time to dry it perfectly. You can use any kind of soft and dry towel for it. If it is possible, then choose the microfiber towel because it is the softest and gentle against the granite sink.

It will leave no damage on the surface of the sink. This drying is very much important for the next level of Removing otherwise it will not work perfectly.

6. Use of Oil

There are basically two types of oil you can use for the granite sink. One the Olive oil and another one is mineral oil. To apply it you need a dry cloth.

Take few drops (approximately a teaspoon) of olive oil or mineral oil. Most of the people mistaken that the rub the oil with the cloth. As a result, the cloth absorbs all the oil which is not much effective for the granite.

So avoid this rubbing. Not put the cloth with oil on the spot you are going to touch.

7. Rub the oil

Rub the sink with the cloth which contains the oil. Do it like you are polishing it. You need to make contact with every inch of the sink surface. There must be a thin layer of the oil on the surface of the granite.

Now take some time for sitting the oil well. It could be happening for more than one minute. Before you wipe the oil out this time most needed.

8. Wipe the oil

Now take a clean cloth. This cloth you are going to use for wiping out the excess oil from the sink. Look for the excess oil on the sink. After you wipe out the oil your sink looks much better than before.

Your sink will shine. Run your finger on the sink. If you feel slick then clean wipe the oil perfectly with the cloth. You should not feel any kind of slink on the granite surface.

A granite kitchen sink is that sink which you can compare with any other sink. Your sink is in great shape in every aspect after though out of daily uses.

I hope, now you know, how to remove water stains from granite sink. In spite of all this information we discussed earlier removing stains from the granite sink, some people think that there are some differences in the process of removing stain between granite sink and granite composite sink.
