Things You’ll Need:
Sponge
Cloth
Poultice
Plastic wrap
Tape
Cotton balls

Instructions
Step 1 Clean the marble with a soft sponge. Run the sponge under lukewarm water and squeeze out excess water until the sponge is barely damp. Rub the marble gently and dry it with a soft cloth.

Step 2 Use a poultice (a paper or powder material used to reabsorb the stain) if simple cleaning did not remove the stain. A poultice can be made with powdered whiting and hydrogen peroxide or, depending on the stain, a chemical-reducing agent.

Step 3 Make the poultice and prepare it for application. If you are using a powder as the poultice, mix it with the stain-removing chemical until it is the consistency of peanut butter. If you are using paper as a poultice, soak it in the stain-removing chemical.

Step 4 Dampen the stain with distilled water. This will fill the porous surface of the marble and isolate the stain for chemical removal.

Step 5 Apply the poultice to the stained area and cover the stain with plastic wrap. Tape the edges down to seal the poultice over the stained marble.

Step 6 Let the poultice dry all the way. This will allow the poultice to pull the stain from the marble.

Step 7 Remove the poultice from the stain by rinsing with water and drying with a cloth. Apply the poultice again if the stain was not removed.

Question by ressiegirl: How to remove glass ring stains from a marble table?
How do I remove glass ring stains from a marble table top? I’ve tried a couple of things, but I’m out of solutions. The top is pretty dull so I don’t know if re-waxing the top would work? Thoughts?

I’ve used tooth paste (not the gel kind) and a tooth brush to remove glass rings from a wooden table. Never tried it on marble.

Here’s another suggestion I found on line. http://www.ehow.com/how_5877551_up-white-glass-ring-table.html

Question by Lulupooh: How do you remove water marks or stains from a marble top table?
I have tried numerous over the counter marble cleaners, even clorox but I can still see faint water stains from drinking glasses on my table. I don’t want to hide my table with a table cloth. Any suggestions?

There are a couple of “marble polishes” on the market, i.e. Italian Craftsman polish, or Weinman that should work.

Answer by browneyedmaiden
I bought a product called Rust Stain Remover by Whink. I got it at WalMart. It says it’s for all colorfast fabrics, but it works well on other things too. It’s in a brown bottle. I keep it handy for such things.
