To clean black granite sink. Clean with very hot water and dawn detergent. Rinse well. Apply a thin layer of mineral oil the kind you find in the grocery store next to the laxatives. It is approximately $1.49 and is food safe and natural. Use a paper towel or wash rag to apply. Sink will shine. Will need to reapply monthly to maintain.

Good to know!!!
Olive oil works also.
Thank you Dee. I did not know olive oil could go rancid in the sink. What about cleaning a stainless steel sink? Mine gets dried out spots all over. I have cleaned it with Dawn, then applied olive oil. Any better suggestions? Mineral oil?
You can try baby oil.
I looked for mineral oil. Wow, it was $5.49 at Walgreens. Texas must have better prices than Idaho. Thanks for suggestion of baby oil. That is less expensive.
I have a dark gray/grey granite sink and the instructions only told me to use dawn and water. No mention of any oil after cleaning.
