What is the difference between a stain and a white etch mark?
A stain is due to material that penetrates into the stone to cause a color change. For example, coffee may produce a brown stain on light colored marble or granite. These stains can be removed by using the StonePro Wet Poultice Stain Remover. Etch marks are caused by acidic materials or hard water deposits that marks the stone white or dulls the stone surface. This is caused by fruit juice, soda, vinegar, acidic cleaners, and urine on marble, limestone and travertine. These etch marks and dullness can be removed and the polish restored with the StonePro Marble Refinishing Kit or light etching may be removed using the StonePro Natural Touch Etch Remover.
