black honed slate countertop

 

This is a question for an expert regarding problems with slate countertops.

I would be eternally grateful if one of your panelists could advise me how to remove lemon/lime stains from my black honed slate countertop..............I have tried using the fine screen mesh, warm water and dishwashing liquid methods which reduced the stains slightly, however I am hoping that there is a more successful method........PLEASE advise.........

granite patio table top

I and my wife recently purchased a round 44" patio table with a granite top.  It is Garden Treasures Classics product from the Java line.  The table top appears to be granite "tiles" grouted into a mosaic of concentric circles.  We have purchased a good quality PVC cover primarily to keep it free of outdoor debris.  What kind of treatment and/or maintenance does this type of table top require?

Thanks,
Petros
