My cousin uses resolve carpet cleaner sparingly (and rinses with water right away) on wine stains in the table cloth because it worked so well on her beige carpet before. Works for her, but I've never personally tried it. And although this doesn't fit your situation right now, I absolutely swear by using peroxide on new blood stains in clothing and carpets. Not sure how that will go over here in this forum since I've just started reading over here, but having worked in the medical field for several years, we never went far from peroxide. We were always dealing with patients on a surgical unit which makes them prone to bleed. Never ruined a smock the entire time I worked there even after many unavoidable events with IV's and such...

Not knowing what caused it, I'd make a paste of baking soda and water, let it sit on the stain, then gently scrub at it. Good luck. I have a couple of "mystery" stains on my linoleum kitchen floor, will have a go at them today. I came down this morning to find my daughter had spilled some spaghetti sauce in front of the refrigerator. Part grease, part tomato (acid). I quickly picked it up with a paper towel, then a quick run over with my Swiffer WetJet.

Help!! We just recently had stained concrete countertops put on our outdoor cabinets on our patio. My husband fried fish last night and got cooking oil on the counter. This morning I saw the oil and tried to wipe it off and it did not come off. Does anyone have an idea of how to clean this grease off? I'm afraid to use other suggestions about getting grease and oil out of concrete because this is "stained" concrete. It was sealed so I don't know why the grease stayed. Thanks!

Is your marble sealed - Mine is sealed with porous plus 511. I have 2 years with heavy use no stains, lots of etching. However, there have been a couple of times where there appeared to be a stain - basically the stain was sitting on top of the 511 and need a nudge to come off. The first month back in the house I set the crock pot on a cutting board that had a design on it, you know the one where there is a cow for meat cutting, a carrot for veggie etc. At any rate, I had set it with the design face down by accident, and the blue design was transfered to the marble with the heat of the crock pot. No amount of gentle washing with dish soap removed it. Now I'm NOT RECOMMENDING this for your problem, but just to let you know that if your marble is sealed you will get the stain off in all probability, I took a tiny bit of barkeepers friend, tinyiest bit, on a wet cloth and gently buffed the different areas to remove the blue streaks. I tested a spot on the edge before trying this and did not see an etch. After removing the blue "paint" I washed with dish soap and dried the area and then reapplied the 511. The stain came off, and there was no etching. Would I do this now? NO, I would call my fabricator and ask what he recommends. I tell this story to let you know that you will in all likelihood get the stain out if you have sealed it. If you haven't sealed it, I would use 511 after you deal with this problem. Honestly, I have no stains.
