How to Remove Deep Oil Stains from Granite Countertops

Oil is the Enemy

Water evaporates, but oil soaks in. If cooking oil sits on unsealed granite, it creates a dark shadow.

The Poultice Solution

You need to "pull" the oil back out. Here is the recipe:

1. Mix Baking Soda with Acetone to form a paste.
2. Spread it over the stain.
3. Cover with plastic wrap and tape down.
4. Let it sit for 24-48 hours.

As the acetone evaporates, it draws the oil into the baking soda. Works wonders on Ivory Brown and lighter stones.
