I have 3 dark colored granite sinks in various kitchens. In my home that is on the market, the sink had a white haze that I couldn’t get out no matter what I did. I thought it may be caused by the cleaning people using soft scrub or other harsh products. However, we put a silgranite sink in our new to us cabin and it has developed the same haze, no cleaning people or harsh products, just me and hubby and dish soap. Both properties are on a well so I’m guessing it’s just the hard water.

Anyway, in the process of getting the first house ready to list I was doing a deep clean and spiff up overall. I decided to treat my butcher block island with John Boos block oil and cream(it’s a 2 step process, but very easy). I cleaned the butcher block and then applied the oil. When I was going to toss the oil soaked paper towel in the trash I wiped the edge of the sink with it, totally spacing out that it had the oil on it. And lo and behold it darkened the white haze! I gave it a shot and wiped out the entire sink with it. It looked fabulous! It does cause the water in the sink to bead up, but I just wipe out with a paper towel when I’m done with cleanup. As it is a food safe oil, I know it will eventually wear off and the white haze will come back, but I can just reapply as needed. I’m not one who gets terribly concerned about the sink not looking perfect, but with the house on the market, every little thing can matter. I wish I had a before pic, but here it is after.
