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 - speak to our sales team for additions product from StoneTech.

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.
