Answer 2

Granite can only be cleaned with either a warm soapy water solution, then dried or a ph balanced product. Anything else will dull your finish. You should ask what to do to regain your shine at your local stone store or a Home Depot or Lowes. It may be as simple as resealing and waxing it.

Answer 3

Only use water and mild soap on granite counter tops. Never bleach or other chemicals or abrasives. I don't know how to get the shine back. Sorry

Answer 4

You should have not used bleach that, and it may have damaged it, depending on the type you have, sometimes using a mild soap and water can bring it back , if not you just did a no no.
