Because natural stone is porous oils,
soaps, wine or juices can stain the surface. The staining substance
enters the stone though tiny holes or pours in the stone. Stain
removal attempts to draw out the stain back through the stone using
compounds that attract the staining substance. Several applications
of the stain removal compounds may be needed and the stained surface
may be unusable for many days. The success of the stain removal
depends on many factors and sadly there are stains that cannot be
removed.
After the stain removal process has been completed the surface is
sealed to help prevent future stains.
It is recommended that all natural stone surfaces be maintained with
stone specific cleaners and be well sealed to avoid needing stain
removal.
