etching on table top

My husband left a coffee cup on our new marble endtable. I tried to remove the ring with lemon juice ( I read this would remove stains in a Heloise book) It made things worse. I did wipe it off immediately, but it still is noticable. I tried cleaning it with marble cleaner and marble polish,but I still can see the dull finish in that spot. Is there any thing I can do?

 

Dear Joy ce:

Ouch!!... L

Well, since you reali z ed that's an etch-mark created by the acidity of the lemon juice, you should also reali z e that it can't be cleaned off with something inside a bottle that says “marble cleaner”… A so-called “marble polish” couldn't possibly do anything, either, for “marble-polishes” are fine waxes of sorts only meant to somehow preserve and possibly enhance the original high-gloss finish – not to make it. Stone is not polished by slapping a wax onto it, but mechanically, by abrasion and friction, like gemstone.

There's solution, though! J
