Chemical Odor After Having Granite Counter Tops Installed

RE: Chemical Odor After Having Granite Counter Tops Installed Post By (Guest Post) (09/13/2008) I just put in granite counter tops and a stainless steel under mount sink and am having the same problem. However, I believe the chemical smell is coming from the exterior coating of the stainless steel sink. They spray the sinks with a chemcal to make less sound in the sink when dishes or pots and pans are in the sink. As far as I am concerned this chemical spray is poisonous and we must do something about it. It is so costly to take the stainless steel sink out that the manufacturer of this sink should be responsible for removing it and putting the granite back, etc. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Chemical Odor After Having Granite Counter Tops Installed Post By NCschoolmarm (Guest Post) (08/07/2008) I am having the same problem after new granite and sink installed over a month ago. I read on another site that we may be the isulation pads on the bottom of the sink, but I haven't checked it out yet.

Sometimes odor is more noticeable( when washing dishes or using hot water especially), but it has smelled under the sink (when cabinets are opened) since installation of sink.

Could it be the sound insulation wrapped under sink at factory>//.Its a 2 slot sink?

They said it gives off gasses so I thought why not burn them, like lighting a match when you have a bad odor.

I thought it would go away. I've tried different products since, now two months later, and the same odor. Help?
