Has anyone gotten a green stain on their granite countertop?

Question:My light tan granite countertop has a greenish toned stain on it. I am still confused what caused the stain. I had a vertical paper towel holder, with a rubber bottom on top of that spot. Can rubber stain granite? Has anyone experienced this?

Answers:
The rubber would have had a die in it and would likely bleed out onto your granite. The granite is porous and can stain easily if not sealed on a regular basis. If the stain is already below the surface of the granite, it's probable it won't come out. Some counter top distributors sell granite counter top cleaner. I would try your distributor or google Byrd Tile (I know there is one in Raleigh, NC) that sells the cleaner as well as the seal. Good Luck!
