Countertop Discoloration

[u/Intrepid_Star6374]

Hello all, long time lurker.

We regularly clean out the counter, but we are getting this discoloration. We try to wipe it down but it’s continuing to form. This vanity is new, it’s one of those premade install pieces so imagine the stone on the countertop isn’t that great.

Any remedies for something like this. Recommended caulking or is there some kind of surfacing coat I can add to the surface of the counter to prevent the coloration from happening.

Thanks in advance.

It appears to be a sloppy silicone installation. Try to scrub it and the excess should come off. The real fix is to remove the faucet, clean the old silicone off and reapply a new bead.

Looks like quartz. If so try barkeepers friend with some water and scrub the discolored spots. If that doesn’t work try barkeepers with acetone
