| I'm trying to get a stain out of my 50+ year old marble window sill. I know I saw the recipe here a while ago and I did a search, but can't find it. Did anyone save it? I did try letting corn starch sit on it overnight. It is polished carrara if it matters. Thanks! |

| I cut and pasted some info into a Word doc that I saw on this forum - I can't give specific credit to anyone but here it is: "Here's a poultice formula for coffee: Here's some additional tips! Hope that helps!! Good Luck!! |

| Thanks so much! From this I gather that you start with a wet mix, wet marble & let it dry which causes the stain to pull. I didn't wet the cornstarch. I'm going to try that first since it'll take me a day or so to gather up the other stuff & it can't hurt. I have now added this to my clippings, just in case, although I will have my counters sealed properly when they're installed. Right now, I'm arguing with fabricators who think I'm nuts for wanting honed marble in my kitchen. YOURS are beautiful, by the way! |

| i used whiten available at paint stores and mixed with hydrogen peroxide until consistency of pancake batter. put on stain i sealed area with plastic wrap and allowed to dry. pulled the stain right out. took about 6-7 hours you can keep applying if you need to. good luck |

| I would like to say a huge Thank You for asking this question and, to my hero, mnhockeymom, for posting the poultice recipes and tip for Iron Out. Today I went to wipe down our (Calacatta Extra) countertop and, like an idiot, didn't look at the sponge before wiping. Stuck to the bottom of it was a rusted Brillo pad, and it proceeded to stain the marble with a big yellow splotch. I was in shock! I immediately checked here and found this post: within forty-five minutes of the stain occurring, it was gone! My sweet husband and three year-old went off to Lowe's to fetch Iron Out and it worked instantly. Thank you!!! |

| So...will these also work on granite? |
|
| It is work well on any material with pores; depending of age of stain it can be not removable. To avoid staining it's always recommended to seal a stone on regular base. |
