How do I clean hard water stains from a granite counter top around the faucet? Seems like all the cleaners like Lime-Away and vinegar typically used for this will also harm the granite. Thanks!

The best way to prevent mineral deposits on granite surface is to keep surface free of standing water, especially around faucet area. Wipe dry after each use. When water evaporates, it leaves behind mineral deposits. These tend to build up over time.
