Marble is a beautiful but porous natural stone, stains can easily appear on natural stone. If the floor is not sealed, it absorbs the liquid easily, leaving stains. Many types of liquids leave stains on marble, including water. Therefore, it is best and most important to wipe off the spilled liquid and clean it immediately before any stains appear on the floor.

Start by turning baking soda and water into a paste (concentration like sour cream). Then absorb the stains and remove as much of the substance as possible. Spray a little water on it. Apply large amounts of soda and water to stains and cover with cling film. Place it for 24 hours. Soda helps dry and pull out stains. After 24 hours, remove the paste and clean the area with mild soapy water. If necessary, you can also use the new paste.
Remedy 2
Mix 1 cup of unbleached flour, 3 tablespoons of dishwashing liquid (don't use bleach, just mild liquid soap), and water. Make a thick paste-like sour cream. Now apply the paste to the stain, about 1/4 inch thick, cover with cling film and leave for 24 hours. Wash the paste and surrounding area with soapy water. If the stain is still present, reapply the paste and repeat the entire process.
Remedy 3
Pour 1/8 cup of alcohol into a 16-ounce bottle. Add a few drops of liquid dishwasher detergent. Then fill the bottle with water. Shake well before use. Spray the liquid on the stain and wash it off.
Remedy 4
Fold a piece of cotton gauze the size of a stain. Soak it in hydrogen peroxide and squeeze out excess. It should be wet but not dripping. Apply the cotton gauze to the contaminated area and cover it with cling film. Seal all edges of the cling film with tape to the gauze. Place an object on the gauze to apply pressure and weight to the stained area. Leave to rest for 24 hours, then check and reapply if necessary.
