My simple, simple, simple solution was to buy a thick multi-layer sponge with a soft side for wiping my granite sink down when I finish. The other side of the sponge is a mesh like scrub surface. But I keep the sponge wherever I drip water the most which is usually next to the hot water handle. The water dries before it soaks through the thick layered sponge. I've never had water go all the way through to get the sink damp.Once a week or so I clean the sponge with a spritz of alcohol or I soak it in very mild bleach and water then dry. When not using the sponge I sit it above the faucet so it dries quickly and until I need it again. Sounds like a lot, but it really isn't once you try it. I got the sponge at Walmart. It's similar to an oval shape with slight indentations in the middle and is about 6" long and gray. It's convenient since I can move it anywhere I need it, then wipe my granite sink down so it dries quickly. Perfect solution for me!
