Hello
I relise that this will sound very pretentious but I am in big trouble and would appreciate it if someone could help me. I've just had a lovely new kitchen fitted with granite worktops. To my horror, I can see the outline of the whole of the base of a le creuset pot on one of the worktops - 2 silvery lines which won't wipe away. I haven't got round to buying any specialist cleaning product for granite yet, so recommendations would be appreciated. But is it likely that I have permanently marked the granite because of the heat of the pan? I thought granite was indestructible? many thanks Frown Eek

Hi Jocaster,

Oops! Always use a stand for hot pots. Granite will mark, but you should be able to polish it out. I suggest you call your local stone mason for advice, he will give the best advice. Your supplier should have left you with some care advice as well.

Good luck

I suspect that your granite worktop has been sealed, and that it's the sealant that has produced the colour change.

Contact the company that produces them, and see what they can suggest.
