Marble Vanity Silicone Caulk Stain
QUESTION:I just had a marble vanity top installed in my bathroom and put in two vessel sinks in myself. One of the sinks leaked some water out onto the counter and it was mixed with a bit of silicone I think because it was milky looking I cleaned it up but there is still a film where the water was at. How can I clean this up?ANSWER:What you're describing sounds like "etching."Some silicone caulks could potentially etch marble. You need to use 100% silicone caulk. Etching is a process of corrosion where the the marble surface is eaten away causing a dull and/or light spot. You'll need to follow the instructions in the How To Remove Etch Marks ebook. You may try cleaning with acetone first though. Possibly you didn't get all residue off. The acetone won't harm your marble, but it will clean everything off it. If that doesn't work, then the ebook. Just a tip, but since you have new marble, you may consider getting the "Cleaning Marble Secrets"... it includes all info in the "etching" ebook plus everything else you need to know about proper marble maintenance. Good Luck, Ryan P.S. Get all the facts, answers, explanations and simple solutions with step-by-step instructions for any issue, problem or question with our Granite & Marble Maintenance Manuals.
