How to Remove Stains from Marble?
What works, what doesn’t, and when to stop doing it yourself.
What works, what doesn’t, and when to stop doing it yourself. Here is the truth!
If you’re here, you’ve probably already tried a few things — maybe baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, or a magic eraser — and the stain on your marble still isn’t gone. In some cases, it might’ve even made it worse.
​
That’s not your fault. Marble is one of the most beautiful surfaces out there, but it’s also one of the most sensitive. Knowing what type of stain you’re dealing with is just the beginning. Fixing it properly takes more than a homemade paste and a towel.
​Why DIY stain removal often fails
Most marble stains fall into one of three categories:
-
Oil-based stains (like grease, lotions, or food)
-
Organic stains (from coffee, wine, fruit, or plants)
-
Metal or rust stains (from cans, pots, or metal tools)
Each one reacts differently.
Scrubbing harder or trying random cleaning agents often leads to:
-
Etch marks that look dull or white
-
Widening the stain
-
Permanent surface damage
Once etching begins, no cleaning product can fix it. At that point, the marble needs to be professionally refinished using high-grade tools and pads that can restore the surface evenly — something that can’t be done by hand or with store-bought kits.
A skilled technician can bring the finish back to its original condition, as if the damage never happened.
Final Thought
​
If you’re dealing with stains, etch marks, ring marks, or just tired of babysitting your marble every time someone sets down a glass, you’re not alone. These issues are common — and they’re fixable.
A professional can remove the damage, refinish the surface to look like new, and seal it properly so it’s protected. But if you're ready to stop worrying about stains altogether, there’s a long-term solution.
We offer Anti-Etch Protection — a stainproof, acid-resistant coating that looks completely natural and comes with a 10-year warranty. Once applied, your counters won’t absorb anything. No rings. No etching. No stress.
Whether you just want a proper fix or you're looking for permanent protection, we can walk you through all your options.
