Description
Professional-grade poultice stain removal for natural and engineered stone. Tenax TeClean Stain Remover Poultice Powder uses a proven stain reversal technique — a blend of surfactants and diatomaceous earth that draws oil, grease, wine, coffee, tea, and other organic stains up and out of porous stone. No harsh scrubbing, no acids, no surface damage.
Also dealing with blue or green cyanoacrylate bloom from chip repair adhesives? TeClean is bundled with TeBlossom in the TeBlossom & TeClean Kit for complete stain coverage. Or if you only need bloom removal, see the TeBlossom Bloom Remover Kit.

How to Use
- Mix TeClean powder with water to a toothpaste-like consistency
- Apply the poultice directly over the stained area
- Cover with plastic wrap and puncture several small holes with a toothpick to allow slow drying
- Leave in place for 24–48 hours until fully dried
- Remove the dried poultice — the stain will be drawn out with it
- Rinse the surface clean and allow to dry completely before inspecting
- Repeat if stain remains; deep-set stains may require multiple treatments
Important: Calcium-based stones (marble, travertine, limestone) may etch during treatment and require re-polishing after use. See Tenax Marble Polishing Powder for restoration.
Seal After Stain Removal
If your stone stained in the first place, it likely needs to be sealed. Once the stain is fully removed and the stone is completely dry, apply a quality sealer to prevent future staining:
- Tenax Proseal Premium Stone Sealer — impregnating sealer for granite, marble, travertine, and most natural stone
- Tenax Quartzite Sealer Proseal Nano — solvent-based nano sealer for quartzite and dense, low-porosity stone
Works Well With
- Tenax BrioAction 3 Professional Stain Remover — for surface-level mold, algae, and atmospheric buildup before poultice treatment
- Tenax Proseal Premium Stone Sealer — seal stone after stain removal to prevent recurrence
- Tenax Marble Polishing Powder — re-polish marble or travertine if etching occurs during treatment
- Tenax TeEtch Etch Remover — for etch marks on marble and limestone that require surface restoration
