Burn Marks On Granite

Burn marks on granite.

Begin by using the soft cloth and mild soap to remove any discoloration from the surface. While granite resists heat and does not burn a hot pan or pot may leave a mark on its surface. Gently rub the affected area with the sandpaper using an even circular motion. The granite slabs that are used to make kitchen countertops can sometimes be damaged by extremely hot pots and pans though so home owners should be careful.

Marble surfaces are more tedious to treat since the white backdrop is very difficult for concealing a burn mark. Apply a layer of white toothpaste to the scorch mark and allow it to set for several minutes. When granite is used as a bench top material in the kitchen it can sustain serious burn marks if hot pots are left on the surface and when used as a vanity top in the bathroom a curling iron that has been left on can have a similar effect. It is possible to sand away burn marks on the surface of solid surface countertops.

Steps to remove the burn mark. Granite and darker marbles are better equipped to conceal treated burn marks since the background has a darker shade along with dense graining. Granite countertops can add a upscale aesthetic element to any kitchen. Repeated exposure to high heat can eventually leave black marks and gashes on granite slabs.
