tere is a great product from stone pro, there is a cleaner then a sealer and polisher, your sink will look like new. look it up and find someone in your are that sells it. It is pretty reasonable and goes a long way

WHOA! DO NOT USE VINEGAR on granite or marble.
Marble, granite, and stone do NOT like having acidic (ie: citrus-based) cleaners used on them. Citrus or vinegar will actually cause “etching” on granite countertops. Not a good thing. Granite countertops also don’t like it when you use something like Windex on them because it strips the “seal” off of the stone.
Apparently there are some very nice countertop/granite cleaners out there that do a great job…but $7.00 for a 12-ounce bottle? YOU can do better than that! :-)
After researching several homemade options out there…I discovered they all had the same basic ingredients…just in varying amounts. Some had a LOT of alcohol in them…some very little. I think the following “recipe” has a good balance of the ingredients, based on the information I read.
Homemade Granite Cleaner, 1/4 cup of rubbing alcohol (or cheap vodka), 3 drops of Dawn or other dish soap (Castile soap would also be a good alternative if you prefer), Water, 5-10 drops essential oil (optional – to help mask the alcohol smell).
Put the rubbing alcohol or vodka into a 16 oz spray bottle. Add the dish soap, essential oil and fill up the rest of the bottle with water.
Now give it a few shakes….THEN give it a try! It should give your countertops a nice, clean shine. Works on appliances too! All at a FRACTION of the price of the store-bought stuff.
Try filling the sink with about 2" of water, add 1/2 cup bleach and leave overnight. Worked for me as my black sink was turning brown from pouring left over coffee before making a new pot and saw it took the brown stains out!
Lynn, Vinegar and anything else acid is NOT safe on granite. What William said is right. That same cleaner he came up with is on this website along with some other tips. I'd say be careful with bleach. Some websites say "yes", some say "no" like the one below. Wishing you the best. Happy Holidays!

Yes it should take care of it. If you have any major stains make a paste of baking soda and water. Put it on the stain and let it sit till it dries. Then wipe off. For a protective coating you may want to use paste wax for cars and put it on like waxing a car. Most paste wax has carnuba in it. Don't use olive oil because being a vegetable oil it does go rancid. Mineral oil would work.
