Does anyone know what to do about the coating coming off or the stains? I've used a sealer and it doesn't work. Maybe removing the coating altogether?

I'm not sure what you mean about coating coming off, I don't think that the unit has/had any coating. But about the stains, yes marble is a soft stone and even with sealer, if somebody puts/drops on the stone something like lime/lemon juice, or even coffee, it would leave a small stain on it. What we do is to put a cut board or other object that covers the stone to protect it.

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.

My husband uses one of these too and I noticed some hard water stains on it. I remembered that the packaging said something about using toothpaste to get it off so I tried a little bit on the corner of the mirror and it seemed to work. You might also try some vinegar as that can also remove hard water stains. Hope that helps!

Mine started discoloring also. I wish I could help you but I haven't been able to clean mine as well.

I know somebody that removed it from fiberglass - they used a plastic paint scrapper - it took some effort but it did not damage it.May be able to use wd40 or some other adhesive remover to make it easier. I have not tried to remove mine yet and I have a porcelain tub.

It could be several things. We'd need a little more info before troubleshooting this. However, my top 3 guesses would be:1. You used the wrong cleaners on it (anything chemical heavy or abrasive is a no-go)2. It is a layer of paint after all, items can ding it, chip it, etc causing this.3. Especially if it's around the sides or corners it very well could be improper application or top coating.

I have the same problem, I've tried to remove the stains with acetone and even a Magic Eraser, but nothing work. SO disappointing because I love the case!

I had no problem if you follow their instructions. The key i think is first getting the protective coating completely removed. Love the pan!

I scraped it off with my nail! Or try mineral oil maybe? I don't know I just bought the stuff.

I just use soap and water. I was it out right away and make sure it dries completely. I'm sure some kind of cleaning solution would work hopefully...

This won't remove the stain, it removes the varnish. If you like the color then seal it. if not stain it the color you want. Good luck

I am not an expert on this but the solution I use, bleach hot water and mop detergent, kind of stains it a bit.

Try spraying it liberally and then place paper towels on top and let it sit for a few hours. See if that helps. I also use a scraper and anything left comes right off.

Leave the product "on" until the stain disappears. It should take 30-90 seconds depending on weather conditions. Rinse it off with treated water if possible.

Try checking out this youtube link regarding replacing the seal. It should help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_ePvpfAkAc

No, I'm sorry I can not help. As a matter of fact, I am having the same problem. I have tried various cleaners without any luck. Finally, I just stopped scrubbing on it. I basically just gave up. Any suggestions from others would be greatly appreciated.

Mine came off easily and the residue came off with warm soapy water. If its that sticky on yours you can always try a drop of goo gone that you can pick up from home depot or Lowe's. I only had an issue with one pan but after a few scrubs with dish soap it came off completely.

I would assume its due to dishwasher soap. Im only saying that because I used a Mr. Clean sponge on mine and it dis-coloured it. Not pleased what it looks like, but am very happy how it cleans up..not hard to clean off sticking stuff. Sorry I don't know why you have to handwash it. God Bless
