Steps to Remove the Soap Scum:
1. Begin by wetting the entire area. Anytime you are scrubbing granite, it is wise to keep the area moist. The water acts as a lubricant to help avoid damage to the surface.
2. Use a razor scraper to carefully scrape the soap scum off of the surface. Keep the razor flat and use caution not to gouge the corners into the tile.
3. Once the soap scum is scraped off, wash the entire area with hot water and scrub with a scrub brush or old toothbrush.
4. A soft cloth can also be used. This allows you to apply more pressure without worry of damaging the surface.
5. Wipe dry with a microfiber cloth.
6. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry.
7. If the soap scum persists, apply a non-acidic soap scum remover such as Decera/P.
8. Spray it directly onto the stone and scrub with a moist, soft cloth. Use a circular scrubbing motion.
9. Wipe clean. Check the label as some cleaners will need to be rinsed from the surface.

Additional Tips and Advice:
• Granite needs to be resealed every couple of years. If the sealant is starting to become worn, contact a granite contractor to find out the options that are available to re-seal.
• Ammonia can be used in a low concentration (1/2 cup of ammonia to 1 gallon of water). Do not use this mixture often or it will dull the surface.
