stainless steel sink + granite counter top + hard water - help!
We have brand new granite countertops, a stainless steel sink and-
unluckily - horribly hard water. We do have a water softener, but to no
avail. The second you run the water, the sink is covered with water stains
that wo not go away. It looks terrible. Since it buts right up to the
granite, l can not use any cleaners with acids in them.I've tried Mr.
Clean, Bar Keeper is friend and some milder cleaners - nothing worked.
What l need is an easy way to clean this sink and - even more important -a good sealer that will keep the water from setting on the surface.Any ideas?
Iron Out ,I have used it on synthetic marble and I did not
ruined it!
So I believe that it should work for you , fill the sink and leave
overnight .
Vinegar with a plastic scrub should do the trick and won't
scarch and will remove the stains.
The best cleaner for the sink is white vinegar. I am sorry I
don't know what sealer
you can use. But why don't you ask some of your neighbors how they handle
it, and what sealer they have used. You could also go to Home Depot and
ask them, they are great at helping , when it come to questions about home
or yard.
You may have a water softener but it isn't working. Take a
sample of the water coming out of your kitchen faucet to a residential
water treatment company and have them test it for hardness. That will
tell you how well your current softener is working. If the water tests
hard, then find out if your softener can be repaired economically. If
not, buy a new softener and your problems with the sink and counter will
be solved.
iron out, my mom and dad have extremally hard water. You can
find it at menards, fleet farm or a hardware store. You can use it to
clean your white clothes also along with the toilet and bathtub.

Won't hurt your granite and removes the hard water scale/stains. CLR
works well also.
