Acetone on white marble.

Granite is capable of handling acetone s strength so acetone can be used to clean granite floors and countertops. The acetone will break down the oil and the powder will soak up the oil particles. Some stains may require a poultice of acetone and a powdered material such as talc powdered chalk or white molding plaster which can be applied to the stain and left for up to two days to draw out the stain. So i m assuming that the nail polish remover etched the marble unless there is some type of nail polish remover product that contains a colored dye that could stain.

This is a lengthy and slow process so the poultice needs to sit on top of the stain for at least 48 hours. Nail polish remover is usually acetone which does not damage or stain marble and some other products which can damage marble. Make an acetone poultice with talcum powder baking soda or any other absorbent powder such as cornstarch or flour. For dark colored stone use acetone or for light stone 20 percent hydrogen peroxide adding it to the flour one teaspoon at a time to.

A marble poultice is first applied to the surface of the marble above the stain the liquid part of the poultice will be partially absorbed by the marble and will slowly draw out the stains from the marble pours into the white paste material.
