how to remove liquid soap stain from granite counter top?
Comments (3)Sorry no one has offered help. The closest I've come to your problem was spilling liquid soap on flagstone. Because it was outside, I had to flood it with water and it eventually disappeared. It took a lot of water. Jane...See MoreNeed help with grease stain on DH shirt and Dal urine on beige ca
Comments (7)Can't help with the grease part. I'm currently trying to get a huge machine grease/hydrolic fluid stain out of hubby's work shirt and thus far have had no luck. However, I can help with the dog pee stain. LOL! Dog pee out of carpet takes some work. First you have to establish if the carpet color will bleed when treated with a cleaning product. Do not bother with common carpet cleaner solutions found at the store. They will not work. To get out dog pee is gonna take effort to get it all out. You will need a bucket, a wash rag, drying rags and your cleaner of choice to get started. I would recommend trying laundry detergent first. Maybe arm and hammer HE. It has a great fragrance, it will be easier to rinse out and it has baking soda for additional deodorization. I happen to know it gets rid of urine smells quite well. Put just a litle degergent in the bucket and add warm water. Next, thoroughly saturate the stain with the solution you have just mixed up, and I mean saturate it. You have to get well below to carpet to get the stain down deep. After you have saturated the stain, take old rags or whatever, and start drying the area by pushing down and dabbing it, or you can suck it up with a carpet cleaner if you have one. Get as much up as you can. Now saturate the area again. Push down and dab dry as much as possible again. Now dump out that water and put fresh water in for the rinse. Do the rinse the same as the cleaning with saturating and drying up as much as possible. Do the rinse twice as well. Once completed, sprinkle baking soda on the area. It will help draw up any remaining stain and odors. Let that dry and vacuum up. Now the baking soda will cake a little and it may not all vacuum up, so you may have to brush it a little or pick the remaining cakes out by hand, but it works. Check the area to make sure the stain is gone. I know it sounds gross, but do a sniff test. If some of the stain or odor still remains, do the procedure again. I know this sounds like a lot of work, but it is the only method I have found that really got it out of my carpet. I have a dog too. Oh and also, if you find a fresh still damp pee stain, sprinkle baking soda on it right away and let dry and vacuum, it will draw up more of the yucky stuff and it will make it easier to clean in the long run. Wetting a fresh pee stain only spreads the pee out more and makes it harder to get out. I hope this helps....See MoreRemoving stains from granite
Comments (3)Oh my :*( you must be soooooooooooo upset. I wonder why it was not sealed before they installed it. Some places do a factory seal after they cut the granite. Well too late for that and no sense thinking about why. I would definitely contact your installer and see if he/she can give you ideas on how to repair this. Here are some links I found. Natural Stone http://www.natural-stone.com/stainremoval.html Xomba Rust stains on granite http://www.xomba.com/remove_rust_stains_granite_countertops Here is a quote from the Housekeeping link below ".........Removing Rust Rust is one of the most difficult stains to remove from marble, granite and other stone surfaces. Many of the rust removers available in stores can damage stone. We have found a great method for removing rust stains. A product called Iron Out is available from most home centers and hardware stores. This product is a white powder that is designed for removing iron from water softeners, but also works great for removing iron and other metal stains from stone. To remove iron stains mix I part Iron Out to 2 parts poultice powder (diatomaceous earth). Add water until you get a soupy consistency. Apply this mixture to the iron stain, cover with plastic and let it sit for 24 hours. After 24 hours remove the poultice and reapply if necessary. For more information on iron and other stain removal see the book Stain Removal Guide for Stone, available from The National Training Center for Stone & Masonry Trades at 800-841-7199.
