💡 Test: Drop water on the surface. If it beads up, you’re protected. If it absorbs, it’s time to seal.

Blot immediately — never rub. Apply baking soda paste mixed with hydrogen peroxide, cover with plastic wrap for 24 hours. Rinse and reseal.

Apply talc powder or baking soda to absorb. Let sit for 24 hours. Clean with pH-neutral degreaser and warm water. May need multiple applications.
🍋
Etching is surface damage, not a stain. For marble, use marble polishing powder to buff out. For severe etching, call a professional stone restorer.

For light-coloured stone: use acetone or hydrogen peroxide. For dark stone: use lacquer thinner. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
