How do you recommend treating the marble to prevent it from stains?

Marble is a naturally porus material, so it's just NOT stain resistant. Unfortunately, this table DOES take oil or hot/cold stains easily. Just try to wipe it up asap, and then if it's a colored or oil stain, I've found that squirting a small puddle of WINDEX on the stain and letting it sit for a while and then BLOTTING it up usually works. For stubborn stains, leave it longer, and repeat. And also stains will sink further down into the marble and fade as time goes on. It's a fancy dining table, so not good for kids or projects, unless you cover it up to protect the marble. Aside from that, it's an awesome table with a BEAUTIFUL natural surface, and I am extremely happy with it.

I used a dual action polisher with a automotive black finishing pad. I had etched marble on a bathroom sink. Don't expect miracles with this product. After a lot of polishing the surface did improve but it was far from perfect. Good luck.

This product cleans and polishes marble & granite. It will not remove the yellowing of age or water marks. Product can be used on kitchen cabinets giving them a nice shine.

I apologize because this answer is not to your question. It appears from the responses that it depends on the severity of the stains. If severe, some recommend a mineral deposit remover. I'd suggest trying a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser - it works wonders.

I have never used this on marble, all I can tell you is that whatever applications I have used this product have worked and stayed together, not a problem. All I can suggest is to read the applications on the back of the product or on the website. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Since the top is travertine, a porous stone, it can stain. I imagine you would seal it with the same kind of product you would use to seal stone countertops, backsplashes, or stone floors. Check Home Depot or Lowes. They should have something to do that.

The priduct is made of fabric with foam bumpers inserted into it. There should be nothing to scratch your marble floor

Spray the spot and surrounding area with warm water. Then use a clean brush and brush lightly without damaging the carpet. Repeat till stain goes away. You may also add white distilled vinegar or baking soda mixed with water for tough stains. Use a fan to dry the carpet and vacuum till dry.

Dampen a microfiber cloth with it and gently work the stain. Condition with protectant.

Marble Gloss Restorer does not work on cultured (man made) marble. You can try removing the spots with sand paper

I don't know about marble but was very disappointed when using it on mycorian countertops. It left them very smeared looking and I followed the directions to the tee.I would like to return this to Amazon but I don't have the box it came in since I thought this product would work. Very disappointed.

I would use with care on cultured marble, testing a small area first. I use it in my travertine shower but the finish is rough not glossy. I would not use it on my shiny marble kitchen countertops. Cultured marble is supposed to have a man made polymer sealant of some sort so if that seal is good you shouldn't have a problem.

Water and soap like anything else. If you want them to stay scratch less use a delicates sponge. But even with scratches it looks nice. And if it begins to have dis coloring you can wash with any stainleas steel cleaner

I just use vinegar and warm water. I tried to use Simple Green but it left smear marks on the floor.

The folks at Rust-Oleum are pretty clear about using this product only on laminate countertops. You may need a master mason to help you restore an existing marble countertop. Good luck.jblofstein

Nothing seems to work. We sealed our marble with a good sealer as soon as we put it together. Acids (lemon or lime juice and vinegars) seem to wreak the most havoc on the marble top. We removed the sealer and sealed it again but had no luck. We love the island too much to get rid of it so we decided to live with the spots.
