Removing grease stains can be challenging on any surface, but it's especially tricky on delicate marble or granite.
Thankfully, my grandmother swore by a simple, natural remedy that restored her marble kitchen counter to perfection: Terre de Sommières.
This absorbent clay, known for tackling oil stains on floors, works wonders on stone surfaces too. Here's how:
1. Sprinkle Terre de Sommières generously over the stain(s).
2. Let it sit for at least 2 or 3 hours.
3. Sweep or vacuum away the powder.
And just like that, your marble or granite surface is grease-free and gleaming.
For stubborn stains, mix Terre de Sommières with turpentine:
- Create a thick paste with equal parts of both.
- Apply using gloved hands or a brush.
- Let it work for 12 to 24 hours, then clean off.
Terre de Sommières is a natural, absorbent clay perfect for stain removal. Find it at hardware stores, supermarkets, organic shops, or online.
