When a colored acidic liquid — wine, coffee, citrus juice, tomato — contacts marble, it creates two separate issues: an etch mark (dull spot from the acid reacting with the calcium carbonate) and a stain (color left behind in the stone's pores). Standard cleaners address neither.

A stain is color that has penetrated into the stone's pores. Colored acidic liquids (wine, coffee, citrus) can cause both simultaneously — which is why this kit includes both a stain remover and an etch remover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to treat the stain or the etch first?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTreat the stain first with the poultice powder, then address the etch mark with the etch remover powder.
