How to repair darkened granite in the kitchen
3 years ago I installed granite countertops in our kitchen. The
granite was bright yellow ("Madura gold"). Since then, the granite became visibly darker in the areas with a lot of water (eg around the faucet). Now we are thinking of selling the house, and would like to return the granite to something closer to its original color. Is it possible at all ? |

Maybe try a hair dryer... -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

Of course, that won't work for the fashionistas. Joe |
