WHAT TO DO WHEN A SPILL OCCURS
DO'S & DON'TS

No mater how careful you are,
spills are going to happen. A quick response and the right
solutions can keep spills from damaging your stone or the
sealer. Marble of the World recommends the
product in our stone care guide -

Etch Marks -
Substances that are highly acidic will
etch most marbles, limestone and travertine, whether the
stone is sealed or unsealed.
Although, sealing allows you time to wipe up a spill, it
cannot stop the chemical reaction that may leave a dull area
or etch mark in the stone.
In addition, cleaners not specifically designed for natural
stone are not recommended. These may etch away the polish,
discolor the surface, scratch the stone or degrade the
sealer.
Food Spills -
Scoop up the food with a plastic spoon. Blot
away the excess with a clean, dry, white cloth. Spray the
area with revitalizer and wipe off excess with a clean cloth
or clean the soiled area with revitalizer wipes
Liquid Spills -
Blot away the excess with a clean, dry,
white cloth, turning the cloth frequently. Spray the area
with revitalizer and wipe off excess with a clean cloth or
clean the soiled area with revitalizer wipes.
Mud -
Let the mud stain dry completely. Remove dried mud
with a soft plastic or nylon brush. Spray affected area with revitalizer, wipe dry with a clean cloth. If the stain
remains, contact a professional cleaner.
Oily Stains -
If you identify the stain as having an oil
base, you may be able to remove the stain using a poultice.
We recommend StoneTech Professional Oil Stain Remover. The
easy-to-use poultice is designed to slowly remove oily
stains from natural stone surfaces. Follow the directions on
the label.
