Default granite question

Have a granite top in the bathroom, and around the 3pc taps, the black
granite is sort of discolored whiteish color... just about 1/4" around
the taps, where I would assume water collects...

Its not a build up, almost looks like a stain in the sealer or stone
it self

anyone else experience this, and have a solution to clean it??

Most likely it is from soap and toothpaste and talcum powder and all
of the other crap people use in a bathroom. Granite has pores and the
stuff can get into the stone. Get a stone cleaner and clean it off,
then seal the granite and be more meticulous when cleaning around the
faucets.

Good advice. If the cleaner doesn't get it all out, the residue might
be hard water deposits from a leaky faucet stem. In that case, CLR or
similar might work.
