    No staining issues at all -- and I cook A LOT. (check out my blog subeeskitchen.com for proof!) I do have some etching spots here and there from lemon juice, vinegar, etc., but they're only noticeable if you're really looking for them. I love my marble and am so happy I didn't let people talk me out of it.

      Really love the kitchen. We have a white marble top as well and it etches very easily. Do you know what treatment your's got to withstand the cooking dangers?
    • 13 years ago
      I have plenty of etchings - just no stains. We just consider the etch spots as "patina" that's developing over time. Only way to prevent etching on marble is to have it treated with a special coating (not regular sealant). ClearstoneUSA.com claims theirs works, but I can't vouch for it.
