Brown Stain on White Marble Bath Vanity

Cleaning Brown Marble Stain
QUESTIONS:Hi, I have a Strasser Woodenworks bathroom vanity, with a white cambria waverton marble top.A brown stain has developed next to the right cold water knob. What kind of stain is it? And how do I remove it? What products do you recommend? any help would be appreciated. ANSWER:First we need to clarify if you have the Cambria Waverton or Carrara Marble. You say you have the Cambria, but it looks like marble to me... 99% certain. And Cambria does not "make" marble... marble is a natural stone that is quarried.Cambria is a man-made quartz countertop product. They have a color called "waverton" that does look similar to Carrara marble, but definitely different. If somehow I'm mistaken, then call Cambria and ask how to remove a rust stain, which is what looks to be occurring here. Your faucet is leaking. Could be some faucet putty stain mixed in, but looks mostly like rust. Since man-made quartz is not very forgiving like marble once stained, you probably can't remove it (again if I'm mistaken and this is a Cambria surface) The methods to fix stone can damage the resins, etc. of man-made stones and that is one of the advantages of stone over man-made quartz countertops... you can almost always fix or re-finish stone, but not quartz. However, I'm betting it's marble and marble stains can be removed using the procedure detailed in the Removing Granite & Marble Stains ebook. There isn't a product that you can just spray on and scrub this away. Stains get into the pores of the stone below the surface, so typical cleaning methods won't work. So, follow the steps in the ebook. Good Luck, Ryan P.S.
