Stain Removal, done the right way.
Stain removal is targeted work — drawing a specific stain out of the surface without re-doing the whole floor. The method depends entirely on what caused it: a poultice for oil, a different one for rust, an oxidising or reducing agent for organic stains, mechanical work for etch marks. Getting the diagnosis right is most of the job.
Granite's hardness means it holds a polish for years, but also that restoring it needs finer, harder diamond abrasives than marble and more passes to lift the shine. Its porosity varies hugely by variety — some black granites are nearly sealed by nature, some light ones drink oil — so sealer choice matters.
The process
How granite stain removal works.
Step 01
Identify
We work out what the stain is — oil, rust, organic (tea, wine, leaf), ink, paint, biological, or an etch mark that is damage rather than a stain.
Step 02
Test
The chosen treatment is tested in an inconspicuous spot to confirm it works and does not harm the surface.
Step 03
Treat
A poultice or agent is applied, covered and left to draw the stain out over hours; deep stains may need repeat applications.
Step 04
Refinish & seal
The treated area is re-polished to blend with the surrounding floor and re-sealed so it does not re-stain.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions, answered.
Can every stain be removed?
Most can. Oil, rust, organic and ink stains usually come out with the right poultice. Deep old dye stains and etch marks (which are surface damage, not colour) may need re-polishing of the area rather than a chemical draw-out.
My granite floor has traffic-lane dullness where the factory polish has worn — can stain removal fix that?
Yes — that is exactly what stain removal addresses on granite floor. We confirm the cause on the free site visit and quote the fix in writing. Call for stain removal when there is a defined mark — an oil patch, a rust ring, a wine or tea stain, ink, paint splatter, or a water ring — on an otherwise sound floor.
How do I keep my granite floor looking good afterwards?
The essentials: clean with pH-neutral stone cleaner and a microfibre mop; blot oil and grease promptly, especially on lighter granites. We leave you a written care plan for the specific finish.
