What is happening
A stain is colour from something that has soaked into the stone. The surface feels the same, but one area looks wet, dark, or discoloured. We draw it back out with a poultice, a paste matched to the type of stain.
What to look for
A darker spot in the shape of the spill (brown, pink, yellow, or rust-orange)
An area that looks permanently wet or greasy
A ring where a plant pot, can, or bottle sat
A smooth surface over the mark, unlike etching
