Shaving Cream Ring on Marble Vanity

by Dara Collins
(Virginia Beach, VA)

QUESTION:

It is an off white tone and has a ring where my son left a can of shaving cream. I can not get rid of the ring and to make it worse my husband tried to scrub it and it is now lightly scratched.

ANSWER:

The shaving cream has etched the marble. Etching occurs when an acidic substance contacts the marble. It is not a stain. It is a mark of corrosion... physical damage to the marble.

You can repair/remove the ring and the scratches by using MB-11 Marble Polishing Powder.

Good Luck,
