And oil stains...

YouTube has a complex overnight solution. I'm not too sure I'll get it right/ it will work for me. 

Anyone here has tried something that works?

How did a granite countertop get an oil stain? Isn't it the whole idea of granite tops - to prevent stains and look great forever.

If the directions are in English, get them translated into northindian.

Stop writing meaningless junk. It is neither funny nor sensible.

You'll be surprised how easily granite stains. It absorbs pretty much all the liquids. Unless ofcoz it was sealed after installation. 
I by mistake spilled oil on our kitchen countertop and even though I wiped it right away, the stone soaked some of it. 
I should have washed it with soap n water maybe. 
Now it's stained n idk how to fix it. Using harsh chemicals might further damage the granite

.....see #3 on Oil stain. See if it works.

P.S. any worsening of damage is your responsibility...Wink

make sure you apply ONLY to the stain area.

If the management points out, tell them it was there when you moved in. You did not report it as it was not broken...

Hey if you are not fat, a little smile and a innocent baby face will get you off the hook.

she's probably fat, but wearing her northindian harem clothes may help.

How do you know what people wear in harem? did you or some female in your family worked there? Your cheap illogical comments makes you suitable for an eunuch role at a harem.

>>>if you are not confident of the youtube solution, check with Home Depot. It will likely be the same solution. Those types of solutions work for people who are handymen. If you are not confident about it, can you just fess up to the homeowner or their management company? Usually they have their own handymen. The worst that can happen is they are going to charge you for it. You are either going to pay for it now or with your deposit later. On the other hand, if this is a routine kind of damage, they may just do it out of goodwill, if you have been a good tenant.

I think you hit the nail on the head there. That's the tranny speaking from his/her/its experience.

Yep! this was it. 

the oil stain on our counter top is on the edge. putting the tape on that area will be tricky. I'll do what Kris said and come clean. Tell them about it and see if they can have their handyman fix it.

Bad idea.

In Amrika...that too when it comes to "business" dealings "Honesty is the worst policy" Haven't you learnt anything from all the looting on the Street?

Act casual and tell them if asked during walk-around "Oh...that was there when I came in. The mgmt lady said she would make a note about it". Make sure you do the walk around and get it all signed before handing over the key.

Remember again "Honesty is not - repeat with me - not the best policy"

You never win against Apt Managers. You can only manage these managers by playing their own game.

seven will be out of $1500 next month. The repair cost and the deposit.

I'll follow my instincts. Which means i'll pay a lot of money to them. But i'll forget about it soon and it will all be good. 

Like you said, upps, i can't beat them in their own game.
