    Fixing Acid Etching on Marble

    Best quote from Fixing Acid Etching on Marble

    “

    Etching isn't actually a stain; it's a chemical reaction where acid literally dissolves the calcium carbonate in the marble, roughening the surface at a microscopic level. The good news is that these dull spots can often be repaired by homeowners using a marble-specific polishing compound.

    ”
