Do concrete countertops stain?
Concrete has approximately the same porosity as marble. Acids (especially red wine, lemon juice and vinegar) will etch the surface if not cleaned up right away. Our Sealer and Finishing Wax will help resist stains, but they aren’t acid-proof and won’t make your counter impervious to stains. Luckily, like aged butcher block or marble, a patina on concrete countertops can actually enhance the character of the surface, so a spill is not necessarily a disaster.
