Lustro Italiano Professional Water Mark and Marble Etch Remover Repair Kit

The Lustro Italiano Professional Water Mark and Etch Remover Repair Kit is a complete kit that will provide all the products needed to repair, restore, and maintain marble, travertine, limestone counter tops. This marble etch repair kit will work on all types of marble including:

White marbles like carrara
Green marbles including verde marble.
Black marble.
Brown marble and materials such as emperador travertines

This marble etch remover kit will remove the acid dull spot on marble that was caused by lemon,lime, juice, vinegar, acidic cleaners, bathroom cleaners, etc. It will also remove water rings caused by glasses or other containers.

There are 4 items included in the Marble Water Mark and Etch Remover Kit:

Etch and Water Mark Remover
Stone Cleaner Spray
Ultra Premium Stone Sealer
Aerosol Stone Polish Spray

Why do you need these 4 products to repair and maintain polished marble?

If the stone has been etched, that means:

The stone has not been sealed.
If the stone was sealed the sealer was not effective.
The stone has not been sealed within the last 1-2 years.
The acid was left sitting on the surface for an extended period of time.

In any of these circumstances one thing is for sure. The acid that caused the etch and most certainly eaten through the surface and there is nothing protecting the stone.

The first thing that must take place is to see what caused the etching. This is important because it will help you to determine whether you have stains. If it was a clear liquid such as a cleaner that caused the etching, more than likely you do not have stains. Other products that can cause etching usually do not cause staining. These include:

Lemons
Limes
Margaritas

However, if the etching was caused by a substance such as orange juice, soda (soft drink), or another colored liquid, the stone may not only be etched but may also be stained. If there is discoloration and staining, you will need to first remove the stains from the marble. To remove a stain, use the marble stain remover.

We offer the marble stain remover separate from this package since not all etching requires the stain remover. Only etches that also have stains in the marble will require the stain remover.

WARNING: Lustro Italiano Stone Sealer does not provide anti-etch protection on marble surfaces. Use of acidic substances such as wine, tomato, citrus, coffee, etc. will etch the surface by creating a chemical reaction with the calcium carbonate present in marbles. For etching problems please use Etch Remover.

Stain Removal & Stone Maintenance in 5 Steps

Step 1:

Remove the Marble Etch with the Lustro Italiano Etch and Water Mark Remover.

If you find that there are no stains, just a dull spot then start with the Lustro Italiano Etch and Water Mark Remover.

How long it will take to remove the etching on the marble depends on the severity of the marble etch. Very light etches, may only take 1 minute. Very heavy and deep marble etches could take up to an hour of elbow grease to bring the polish back up. Why such a variance in time and effort?

Keep in mind that marble is a calcite stone. That means that when marble is etched the acidic substance has physically effected the stone. That means the acid has physically eaten that part of the stone away. The marble etch remover is designed to chemically and mechanically work with the stone to physically re-polish the stone back to a gloss. However, It can only polish the stone that has not been eaten away by the acid. So on heavier acid etch marks, once the stone has been re-polished back to a gloss with the Lustro Italiano Etch Remover you may see microscopic holes or a slightly different reflection powder. It will be obvious to you when you look at it in just the right light. But unless you know its there no one else will see it. Why is this the case?

It has nothing to do with the etch remover. It is because the acid that caused the etch has eaten away part of the calcite in stone in some form or pattern. The polish will most certainly come back and it will practically be unnoticeable. However, it cannot be exactly as it was before, because part of the stone has been eaten away by the acid. That makes prevention even more important.

We are about education and letting you know what is happening to your marble. And to let you know how important it is to keep sealer on your stone. Sealer not only prevents stains but it will prevent common household liquids from eating away your marble counter top. And that is why it is really important to seal your marble with the best sealer you can find. The sealers you find in the big box stores are there for a price point. Not for the quality of the sealer. Our Lustro Italiano Ultra Premium Stone Sealer is made in Italy and is one of the best pure grade high quality professional marble sealers in the stone industry.

Remove the Marble Etch with the Lustro Italiano Etch and Water Mark Remover:

Lustro Italiano Etch and Water Mark Remover is a polishing compound that is a combination of specially formulated polishing powders designed to specifically remove etch marks, water marks, water rings, dull spots, and even light scratches on marble, travertine, limestone, alabaster, and onyx stone.

Step 2: Clean the Stone

Clean the area and the entire counter top with Lustro Italiano Stone Cleaner. This will clean the entire marble counter top and remove any residue, oils, etc off of the surface.

LUSTRO ITALIANO 32 oz Granite and Stone Cleaner

Lustro Italiano Stone Cleaner is the ultimate cleaner for your stone's finish. This product contains zero harsh detergents that can strip away stones natural polish. Unlike some other household solvents, this cleaner will not shorten the life of stone sealants. Our cleaner comes packaged in a 32 ounce bottle with attachable sprayer for user convenience.

Lustro Italiano Stone Cleaner can be used as an everyday countertop cleaner.

Specifically designed to safely clean stone countertops, vanities, etc

Step 3: Allow the stone to dry.

You want the stone to be completely dry with as much moisture out of the stone as possible. Think of the marble as a sponge. The dry the sponge the more liquid it will soak up.

Step 4: Apply the Ultra Premium Stone Sealer

Follow the instructions on the can when applying the Lustro Italiano Stone Sealer. This is a very fast process. 30 minutes to do the entire counter top. Wait for 30 minutes and then apply a second coat and allow the stone to dry at least 4-6 hours to allow the sealer to fully cure. The Lustro Sealer has an odor. Its not terrible but a chemical odor nonetheless. The smell is a special type of solvent that is designed to penetrate deep into the stone. Basically once it hits the stone its job is to pull all the sealer down into the microscopic pores and crevices in the marble. Don't worry. It is not harmful to humans or animals when breathed. Just open a couple of windows or turn on the exhaust fan. If we could remove the smell we would, but we wanted to produce the absolute best sealer possible. This solvent most certainly aids in doing that.

LUSTRO ITALIANO ULTRA PREMIUM STONE SEALER:

Lustro Italiano Ultra Premium Sealer protects granite, marble, travertine, limestone and other natural stones. This sealer can be applied to polished, honed, brushed and antique finished stones and also works as a premium grout and tile sealer.

Also excellent for concrete, pavers, brick, block

Lustro Italiano Natural Stone Sealer is designed to penetrate into the micro porosities of the stone to protect against everyday household oils such as olive oil, vegetable oil, grease, etc. The sealer also provides a barrier against foods like wine, soda, coffee, mustard and certain types of water that has the potential to stain stone or create water marks.

Step 5: Apply the Lustro Italiano Stone Polish

This is the maintenance part. You will use the Lustro Italiano Aerosol Stone Polish a couple of times a month. Think of it as Pledge for stone. It puts a slight topical, non greasy, polish on the surface. This has a 3 fold purpose: First, it gives a great shine to the marble counter top. Second, it gives a topical coating to add another layer of protection against any sort of staining or etching. Third, it also goes into the pores of the stone to keep the stone continually sealed.

LUSTRO ITALIANO 11 OUNCE AEROSOL STONE POLISH:

Lustro Italiano Stone Polish comes packaged in a 11 ounce aerosol can specifically designed to bring out the natural stones brillian colors. Lustro Italiano Polish has unique compounds to add a vibrant polish to the stone.

Use a couple of times a month to add lustre and shine to your stone surfaces. To use, simply spray the polish on the stone countertop. Let Lustro come to a haze and then wipe off with a cloth or paper towel.

It was worth a try	September 7, 2023
Reviewer: Morrow from Idaho

The products have easy to follow instructions and seem professional grade. I only used the etch remover and cleaner because I didn’t want to seal in the damage. I was unable to remove or diminish the etch damage after several applications and following all steps. I am looking for a professional to fix the vinegar etched spots, towel outline, and bottle rings on my limestone vanity tops. I will use the sealer and cleaner in the future.

Perfect!	May 3, 2021
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Cleveland, OH United States

I left a towel soaked with Liquid Gold in our marble sink. It ruined the basin finish. Went to Big box -no help, then to stone countertop store and was given a card for a professional polish company contractor. Sent pictures to Lustro,they got back to me right away with advice. Ordered the complete package, etch paste,sealer, polish,cleaner on faith. The application was tedious but the finished surface was perfect. A couple weeks later we took delivery on a marble top coffee table. It wasn't cheap. I liked the pattern of the table top but there were major linear streaks on the surface that may have come from moisture and the shipping crate. These streaks would NOT clean off. Dont tell anyone but I used the Lustro etch remover with a random orbit polisher. I gently polished the whole coffee table in about 25 minutes. Cleaned, sealed and polished and the surface is now spotless. As you can tell I am a big fan of this product. Thanks!

Disappointed	April 20, 2021
Reviewer: Karen Hudson from New London, MN United States

I expected a shiny new look after applying all the products on my travertine stone sink. Actually it doesn't look any different than it did before. For that amount of money, it was quite a disappointment.

LUSTRO ITALIANO REPLY: 
Dear Karen, 
We are sorry to hear that you were unable to get the results you expected. This kit is designed specifically to correct cases of etched stone. Unfortunately, etching is a destruction of minerals in the stone and cannot be given a "a shiny new look" using additive techniques. It is possible to get the stone to that point, but it requires a professional to come in and restore the surface by repeating the process that originally was used on the stone's surface by using polishing pads to remove the existing surface treatments. This process is possible, but not very practical for most cases. Our etch repair kit is designed to remove the etch by very gradually blending the areas of the stone that contrast so the etching is much less visible while at the same time improving the area that suffered the damage. Since the product works gradually, some etches might require patience and some "elbow grease" to get the best results possible. Thank you for considering Lustro Italiano.
