Marble Etch Prevention for Kitchens and Bathrooms with MORE® AntiEtch® Marble countertops and vanities bring timeless beauty to kitchens and bathrooms—but they also face constant threats from spills, cleaning products, and everyday use. The biggest challenge is marble etching, a dulling or discoloration of the surface caused by acidic substances. While small etches can sometimes be polished out, the best approach is always prevention. That’s where MORE® AntiEtch® comes in. At Connecticut Stone, we recommend MORE® AntiEtch® as the most effective long-term solution for marble etch prevention in kitchens and bathrooms. Why Marble Etching Happens Marble is made of calcium carbonate, which reacts with acids and even some household cleaners. This chemical reaction eats away at the polished surface, leaving dull spots or rings that can be especially noticeable on countertops and vanities. In kitchens, lemon juice, vinegar, wine, coffee, and tomato sauce can etch marble within minutes. In bathrooms, soaps, shampoos, skin care products, and even hard water deposits contribute to etching. Sealers help protect against stains, but they don’t stop etching. For homeowners who want their marble to stay pristine, a more advanced solution is required. How to Prevent Marble Etching with MORE® AntiEtch® Traditional methods like careful cleaning, using cutting boards, and wiping spills immediately are all important habits—but even the most cautious homeowners can’t always prevent accidents. MORE® AntiEtch® offers unmatched protection. Unlike a traditional sealer, this innovative coating creates a durable, ultra-thin barrier that resists etching and staining from acids and alkalis.
