Color Stains Removal Service

Undesired stains can occur when a colored liquid absorbs into the stone body, into micropores below the surface, and cannot be cleaned by any cleaner or wipe-off method. The stain is inside the stone, so surface cleaning or wiping will not work.

In many cases, we are able to remove or significantly reduce stains within a few hours without the time-consuming poulticing. The key to success here is how long ago, how deep, and by what kind of chemical the stone was stained. The newer stains could be much easier to remove than older ones.

If the stains are too deep and tough, we can remove them through a process known as poulticing. The appropriate poultice for the stain will be prepared and placed on the stain and allowed to dry. As it dries it will pick the stain up from the pores of the stone.

If the poultice doesn’t work, we can remove the affected top layer of stone by grinding the surface down to a fresh layer of stone and then polishing it to the original finish.

Some stains can penetrate completely through a stone body, so grinding will not be able to remove a stain completely, in this case, multi-poulticing or both approaches can be used.

Before the beginning of removing the stains, we should determine where the stain came from, it can be adhesives, alkaline, beer, bleach, blood, urine, candy, chocolate, egg, oils, grease, gum, water stains, ice cream, ink, juice, liquor, lotion, makeup, mold, grout, nail polish, paints, perfume, soap film, sauce, syrup, wax coatings, wines, and others.

In some cases, the stone can change its color and chemical composition due to heat, UV rays, oxidizing, aging, mechanical impact, or some sort of chemical reactions. We cannot classify it as stains and will not be able to remove it completely.
