STONETECH Oil Stain Remover, Cleaner for Natural Stone, Grout, & Masonry, 3OZ (88.7ML) Can

This stuff is amazing, but you have to be patient and follow the directions. I just put in a new granite countertop, and before I could seal it, I got a nasty oil stain left overnight. I ordered this stuff, and by the time it arrived, the oil stain had been settling for a few days. I carefully read the directions; applied a generous bit, and let it sit until it is completely dry. DON'T PANIC if you apply it, and see what looks like an oil stain seeping into your stone. That's the solvent, and it takes at least 24 hours to dry. I left this to work for about a day and a half, then buffed off the powdery residue, and the nasty oil stain was COMPLETELY gone. Patience. It magically draws out oily stains, and it also smells nice. A small can will go a very long way. I will always keep this stuff in my cabinet.

Thankfully, in the end, this worked.We recently renovated our main bathroom and ordered a vanity with a marble top (this was just by chance as I had zero knowledge of the types of countertop materials and which ones to avoid or be aware of).5 days into having the bathroom completed, my wife shows me a spot with a darkened circle, probably 3-4 inches in diameter. We don’t know what sat there - could have been a diffuser we use for essential oils that had some run off on the base, shampoo bottles that dripped or something else. We had just come back from vacation so it could have been anything from the items we were putting away after the trip.Initially I tried two different types of spray cleaners to get the etching (aka the stain- I learned new words in this process too) off, but they didn’t do the trick. They sort of lightened the mark, but in the end we needed something else.This stuff stayed on the counter for three full days and with a little plastic spatula, the dried pieces left scraped off to leave a completely repaired surface! Couldn’t be happier that we didn’t ruin the new surface after only 5 days :).Oh and the canister that it came in is maybe two inches in diameter. It is super small so don’t be fooled by the image on the product page. It’s definitely magnified. If you have a large area, you’ll need a few of these.As you can see from the top picture, the etching was completely dried out and removed.

I used this multiple times in multiple different places on my quartzite countertops and it does not work for any stains, oil or otherwise. I followed directions to a T and nothing. Wish I hadn't missed the return window, will be throwing this in the garbage. Don't waste your money.

It worked well to remove most of the stain from a leaking bug spray can left on the granite counter. It requires multiple applications so get the large can if stain is large.

My original review is below. I needed it again after letting oil sit on the countertop for weeks. I had something decorative sitting and didn't move it for awhile. I did not know the bottom was oily, since I had washed it. Well, big surprise, there was oil and it had a chance to soak in. I had to use this treatment a few times to get rid of this stain, because the oil had time to soak in. This stuff is fabulous. I had tried all the home remedies, and nothing worked on the original problem I treated with the first can. This time I was not freaking out, because I knew if I bought and used this, the stain would be history and back to normal. I did finally get the better sealant on my countertops, and normal oil exposure stopped being a problem. This pushed the sealant past its limits. Thank goodness for this product!I wish that everything I purchase would live up to its promise the way that this does....*************************Original review:This is amazing! My new countertops stained with normal exposure to olive oil. Unfortunately I did not know that they were so badly sealed until I had cooked a huge holiday dinner - the first chance I got to use them. I had noticed dark spots but hoped they would evaporate out overnight. It turns out that the countertops need a different sealant, but in the meantime, I needed to get rid of the olive oil stains. This stuff really works! After I had it all cleaned up, something else soaked into the countertop and although I did not know its origin, I tried this and it worked. Still, waiting for the new sealant.... I noticed that the soap dispenser had dripped soap onto the countertop and it, too, was not evaporating out. I used it on that, and voila! no more stain. If I can just get the fabricator out to fix the sealant, I might not need this anymore. Try it on anything. It worked on oil, an unknown, and liquid soap.

This stuff works but the smell is super strong! If you have sensitivities (asthma + allergies) plan to set up proper ventilation & be gone for about 3-5 days as it airs out. The smell is similar to nail polish remover x 10. I had to change my air filter to a carbon-enhanced version to help reduce the lingering odor and VOCs. Really ruined the air quality in my home and kicked me in the butt on the backend. Solved one problem to create another.

I accidently spilled high heat black spray paint on my 1950s flagstone fireplace hearth. I tried several remedies to clean it up and nothing worked. I found this product &thought to give it a try and boy, I'm so glad I did! This cleaned up this mess absolutely beautifully! It took a little elbow grease & a wire brush but there's now no indication that it was splattered with paint I can't believe & am so happy! This little product has saved me thousands of dollars to replace the flagstone. It even smells good, kinda citrusy, while it's applied. I can't recommend this product enough!
