Vomit Stain on Marble Floor
by Shelley
QUESTION:My dog vomited on our marble floor leaving behind a stain(acid?)How can I clean it up? The stain looks like a dull spot. The color of the marble is a beige. Other than that I know nothing. Your help would be appreciated,Thank you, Shelley ANSWER:Shelley, what you have is called an "etch mark" from the acidic vomit.Etch marks are not stains although a stain and etch mark can occur together. I imagine you cleaned it up pretty quick, so it probably just etched and did not stain the marble. Now if the spot is darker than the surrounding marble then you do have a stain. But going with what you told me that it is basically a dull spot... that is just etching. The remedy depends on if your marble is honed or polished and you'll find complete instructions for both along with everything you need to know about etching in our Removing Etch Marks ebook. If you really want to know everything A to Z about how to properly care for your marble including how to repair etching and anything else that may occur (like stains with etching) then get the Cleaning Marble Secrets Guide instead. Good Luck, Ryan P.S.  I highly recommend MB Stone Care Products to maintain all your marble, stone and granite countertops and floors in optimal condition. I've used other good products (Stone Tech, Miracle) but found MB Stone Care is the most reliable and effective. |
