I have lived in two houses with two different granite countertops and although I bought new shirts, I still get holes. I too had a company come and try to fix it. To no avail. I spend an enormous time in the kitchen and at the sink. Definitely the granite. My husband too tried to tell me it was my belt buckle, or maybe a button on my jeans, or maybe this or that. It's the granite! Take an old t-shirt and rub it back and forth on your countertop for about 5 minutes. You'll have a hole. Forget about trying to find another cause. You will drive yourself nuts. If you like your countertops and your shirts, always wear an apron. Definitely the granite!

I have ruined so many shirts and my husband keeps saying that it can't possibly be the granite counter top, He gets no holes in his shirt, but of course we all know why that is. I have this too.

Engel Mon, 10 May 2010 18:14:37 +0000 #comment-668 I've ruined many knit tops with holes in the front. They are caused by a tiny chip on the edge of the quartz countertop. It happens when something firm is behind the material like a button or zipper. My countertop was just fixed by the company & already I've ruined 2 more shirts. The chips can hardly be seen but can be felt by the edge of a fingernail. Immediate solution is clear packing tape! So irritating! I did locate the problem by putting t-shirt material around a mug and running that firmly along the edge of the counter. My car seatbelt, the other possibility for the holes, has been vindicated!

I would try to find out who supplied the counter tops and contact them about smoothing the edges. Even if you have to pay someone to come polish the edge it may be worth it in the end.

If you're bleaching your shirts you're weakening the fabric. If you wear belts you're weakening the fabric. If you buy cheap shirts they're just wearing out. It’s not the counter top.

He said try Home Depot or your closest hardware store. My husband owes his own construction business and he said that they have a polish that will cover the holes.
