We just tried using plain DE to remove water stains from granite and it actually worked. No harm in trying. I've tried it before and there's probably a 25% chance of it working.--On Wed, Oct 31, 2012 at 11:19 PM, hectorcastillo@comcast.net <hectorcastillo@comcast.net> wrote:

Check for moisture levels in the stone, remove the sealers that are on the stone, then if the stains are still there try a poultice using peroxide.
Check to see if there I anything usually in that area of the floor.

Subject: RE: [sccpartners] Limestone Floor
The floor is on a cement slab, kitchen Dining room, entry and small bathroom. There is about 600 sf. It has been checked for moisture. There wasn't any. The homeowner said the discoloration started a few months after it was installed. The sealer supposedly has silicone in it. He did say it was sealed at different times in different sections. Any where from 3 days to 2 weeks. It was raining at the time of installation.

My client has a Limestone floor that was installed about a year ago. Some of the stones are turning dark, others are not. In some areas al the Limestone is turning dark. The homeowner used Miracle Sealants 2 part poultice. It required 5 applications and scrubbing to lighten the stones. Honing did not lighten the stones. The Limestone was sealed with 511 Porous Plus after it was installed. There is a moisture barrier and the thinset used was white. We are trying to figure out a way to clean and lighten the stone to its original color. Miracle Sealants 2 part liquid poultice is very harsh and melts both blue and vinyl tape. Any ideas would be appreciated.
