Marble is a very refined surface that undoubtedly contributes to making any environment much more elegant and precious. But marble is also a delicate surface and must be treated with careful and specific maintenance interventions with the utmost care.
The real enemies for marble are represented by stains from food or liquids that can seriously affect its surface. In this regard, wine stains, which are very difficult to treat and remove, must be avoided. In this guide, we want to show you how to remove wine stains from marble.
Act immediately on the stain
Problems will be caused above all by wine stains that will dirty a table or any marble surface of a certain age or, in any case, that is not treated. This is why it is necessary to defend oneself in the most specific way of the term to avoid compromising the object’s appearance and brilliance forever.
First of all, we advise you to intervene immediately, without letting the stain act for too long. Remove the stain with a cloth and then follow the instructions that we will provide later.
Use 35% hydrogen peroxide.
It may seem strange to you, but the best method to remove wine stains on marble is homemade. In these cases, use 35% hydrogen peroxide without fear. We recommend that you respect this percentage exactly.
But in this case, you must take the appropriate precautions: 35% hydrogen peroxide is a type of water with a very high degree of concentration, so it will be mandatory to protect yourself during its application with specific gloves and goggles. Safety is always a critical maximum of care, not to incur painful burns.

How to carry out the intervention? Wash the wine-stained area of the marble with plain water and a neutral detergent. Make sure the part dries perfectly and immediately sprinkle the marble part with hydrogen peroxide. Wait, in this case, for everything to dry.
You will see that your marble will be as good as new, leaving no streaks and endowed with a new, beautiful shine. If you do not want to take any risk and prefer not to try your hand at cleaning marble personally, we recommend contacting a marble worker who will show you the right specific products for an even more effective cleaning operation.
