That's com the oil in the hand soap, try a paste of baking soda and a little water to set on it for a few days to see if it will pull out the oil. If not call the marble co who installed it and see what they say. Once cleaned , reseal the stone.
If the stain is from the bottom of a container, just spray 2 coats of clear paint spray on the bottom of it, or use a different container to either put the whole bottle in or pour the soap into it Does that stain I see there wash off, or is it stuck there?![](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/emojione/assets/3.1/png/32/1f44d.png)
I have granite also and learned a lot about these countertops from having one. There is no way to prevent this from occurring unless you dont sit anything on your countertop. Mine does the same thing even though the counter has been sealed. It is annoying I know. You can clean it off good with warm water until you dont see anymore soap coming ffrom the area and then let it air dry. But it will just happen over and over again. I never knew granite would be so high maintainence. I wanted quartz and husband wanted granite. Next time I get quartz instead. Good Luck.
Calling installers. I’ll wash again, but not holding my breath. I do a lot of cooking and wash my hands repeatedly. Gotta come up with another solution. Thanks for your help.
I have granite and it’s been sealed several times, and it still get stains. The worst was spaghetti sauce that was spilled on it, I cleaned it several times but the stain is still there! I chose granite because I thought it would not stain, WRONG.
Hi Betty. I have the same exact stains on both my kitchen granite and marble bathroom counter tops where the soap dish is. Its darker than the rest of the surface. Nothing will remove the stain. Its discolored due to the soap dispenser being placed on top of it and no air circulation underneath it I guess. Like it oxidized it or something. Since I need the soap dispensers in both the kitchen and bathrooms theres not much I can do to avoid this from happening over time.
