had i found this site before i renovated my kitchen i would have taken notice and perhaps NOT ordered honed black absolute granite countertops. alas, i just found this site as i was searching to find a way to CLEAN said honed black absolute granite countertops since they have now been in my kitchen for almost a year and i still haven't found a way to truly clean them (not surprisingly, as it turns out). i have a few questions and appreciate any advice or help!
1. what is the best way to clean the countertops
at the end of the day and for a more thorough weekly cleaning. i'm asumming that eliminating the water marks or whatever they may be is nearly impossible?
2. i have now read that i shouldn't have had the counters sealed (whoops, already did that) and should have used a color enhancer instead. once they've been sealed can they be unsealed so i can apply the color enhancer? and how will this change the staining factor?
3. a contractor once told me that windex with ammonia will remove a sealer. is this true and will it harm the stone?
4. for future, if i want that matte black look what stone is recommended? i originally wanted slate but heard that was a maintenance nightmare. so i chose an apparently equal nightmare!
thanks so much. now why didn't anybody else tell me not to go honed???
