"What many don't realise is that reusable plastic bags often use strong dyes in their design, which can easily transfer when the material becomes damp. On contact with a kitchen surface, especially porous stones such as granite, quartz or marble, the dye particles seep into tiny natural fissures and pores in the material."
"It's a silent risk that most households overlook, but simply leaving a wet bag for life on the worktop for a short time could trigger permanent staining, making it one of the most surprising and damaging culprits in the kitchen."
"First try a multi-surface spray. If that doesn't work, a cream cleaner such as CIF or The Pink Stuff can be used,"
Reusable plastic shopping bags often contain strong dyes that can transfer onto kitchen surfaces when the material becomes damp. On porous stones such as granite, quartz, or marble, dye particles can seep into tiny natural fissures and pores and then bond beneath the surface. Once absorbed, the pigments create deep-set stains that normal cleaning methods cannot remove. A wet bag left on a counter for just a few minutes can be enough for dye to bleed into the surface and cause permanent marks. Immediate blotting and warm soapy water can help. Multi-surface sprays or cream cleaners like CIF or The Pink Stuff may work; persistent stains may require professional polishing or full worktop replacement.
