Stain Removal Guide
Granite and marble stains are caused when a substance absorbs into the pores of the stone creating a dark spot (not to be confused with etching, which leaves a dull and light-colored spot). Stains cannot be simply scrubbed away and must be drawn out of the stone.
This specially formulated and powerful DIY stain remover poultice works deep into the stone to lift out and remove the staining substance without damaging the countertop or tile surface finish.
Most travertine, granite, and marble stains are not permanent and can be removed following this simple procedure:
Directions:
- Wet the area to be treated for stain removal.
- Scoop out the amount of paste needed to cover the stain as indicated below.
- Apply poultice paste to the stain 1/8 to 1/4 inch (.65 cm) thick and exceeding the edges of the stain 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) .
- Cover the entire poultice with standard plastic wrap.
- Tape down the edges of the plastic wrap with masking tape.
- Let sit on the stain for 24 hours. Then remove the plastic only.
- After removing only the plastic, do not touch the poultice. The important part comes next...
- Leave the poultice in place until it dries out completely (usually another 24 - 48 hours). It's this drying action that draws out the stain. So regardless of time, it must be completely dry and powdery before removing.
- Remove the dried poultice with a plastic spatula.
- Rinse the area with water and clean it with a stone cleaner.
Some stains may require repeat applications. Continue with repeat applications until the stain is removed.
