Hey there! Let's talk about using this Lustro Italiano Etch and Watermark Remover. First, get rid of any stains on the stone using the Lustro Italiano Stain Remover Powder. Then, give the surface a good clean with distilled water. Make sure to protect areas around the stone, like cabinets and the floor. And don't forget to wear rubber gloves and safety glasses to keep yourself safe.
When it comes to applying the remover, use about one teaspoon for every four square inches of the marked or scratched area. If the area is small, work on it all at once. For bigger areas, do four - square - inch sections one by one. Rub the remover in circles for two to three minutes. Add a bit of water if it starts to dry out and gets too thick.
After that, remove the slurry, clean the stone, and dry it with a paper towel. Check if the mark is gone. If not, just repeat the application steps until it disappears. For really stubborn marks, you might need to apply it three or four times. If after three tries it's still there, let the remover dry completely to create some heat and friction to help remove the mark.
Once the mark is gone, wash the stone well with water. Wait for 24 hours until the stone is dry, then apply the Lustro Italiano Stone Sealer to protect it. And to keep your stone looking great, use the Lustro Italiano Cleaner and Polish regularly.
Just a heads - up: if there are deep scratches or severe etching, it's best to call a professional. Also, this product is not for granite. And before you start using it on a large area, test it on a small spot first. Never leave the remover on the stone for more than 10 minutes at a time because the acid powder can damage the stone.
