What is Etching?
Acid-sensitive stones like Marble, Limestone, Travertine, and Onyx are prone to etching.
When acidic substances come in contact with these stones, the acid begins to eat away at the surface, which creates dull spots known as etching. An etch is not a stain and cannot be prevented by using even the best penetrating stone sealer.
What causes Etching?
Everyday items that you use in your kitchen such as lemons, vinegar, coffee, wine, and soda. Or in your bathroom like toothpaste, certain cleaners, and lotions can quickly cause an etch mark. While it's certainly possible to repair etches, the process can be labour intensive, inconvenient, and expensive. Most importantly the repair does not protect against future etching.

More AntiEtch comes with a 10-year warranty against etching and staining, which means you'll have the peace of mind that comes with knowing your countertops are protected for years to come.
