Coffee, tea, wine and food stains visible on a white marble countertop

What Type of Food or Drink Stain Do You Have?

Different liquids and foods can create different marks depending on the marble, exposure time and depth of absorption.

Coffee ring and coffee spill on white marble

Coffee Stains

Brown splash marks, cup rings or absorbed coffee patches on marble countertops and tables.

Tea ring and light brown tea stain on marble

Tea Stains

Light or dark tea rings and spills that remain visible after normal surface cleaning.

Red wine and food staining on a white marble surface

Wine and Food Stains

Red wine, sauces, juice, turmeric or food residue that may penetrate or discolour the surface.

Avoid repeatedly applying acid, bleach, abrasive powder or random stain removers. The mark may be a stain, absorbed residue or surface etching, and each condition requires a different approach.

DUSH may first recommend a controlled test area or customer sample so the response can be evaluated before wider treatment.

How DUSH Handles Food and Drink Stains

Send Photos

Send one close-up photograph and one wider photograph showing the stain and surrounding marble.

Assess the Mark

The technical team reviews the stain type, stone, surface finish, exposure duration and whether the mark may involve absorption or etching.

Test and Recommend

DUSH may recommend a sample test, controlled test patch, site assessment or suitable cleaning and restoration process.

The treatment is selected according to the stain and stone — not simply one product.

Speak to the Technical Team

A Visible Mark May Be a Stain, Etching or Both

Absorbed stain: The liquid has entered the marble and created visible discolouration.
Surface etching: An acidic food or drink has altered the polished finish and left a dull mark.
Combined damage: Some spills can cause both colour staining and surface dullness.

Correct identification is important because stain extraction and surface restoration are different treatment processes.

Common Questions About Food and Drink Stains

Some coffee stains can be reduced or treated, but the result depends on how long the stain has been present, the marble's porosity and previous cleaning attempts.
They may look similar, but the stain strength, exposure duration and surface condition can affect the treatment required.
Red wine may create colour staining and can also affect the polished finish because of its acidity.
Not always. A dull or pale mark may be etching rather than absorbed staining. Each condition requires a different treatment approach.
Avoid acidic or aggressive cleaners on natural marble. They may etch, discolour or worsen the visible mark.
Send one close-up image, one wider image and a photograph showing the surrounding area. Include the stain source, city and how long the mark has been present.

Send Us Two Photos of the Stain

Start with one close-up and one wider photograph. Tell us whether the mark came from coffee, tea, wine, juice, sauce or another food.
