Welcome to the natural stone support group. If you are shopping for this or similar products, you probably need more emotional support than you need a product to remove stains from your natural stones LOL. I've been there, done that. You have a remodel project going or waiting for your new home to be built. Time to make decision about your countertops. You fall in love with the natural stones. You are in a vulnerable state and fall prey to the lies natural stone companies tell. They make you believe thet the stones are indestructible, and that you are good to go once they are sealed. Lies...all lies...100% pure lies. But you don't know that yet because you are infatuated with your stones. They probably wouldn't sell anything either if they told you the truth, right? So you spend the big $$$$ and are happy because when the kitchen remodel is done or your new house is delivered, your countertops look breathtakingly beautiful. The honeymoon period is cut short the moment you see your first stain. It probably came out of nowhere too. What happened with the sealer? Wasn't the sealer good for for a few months at least before you needed to reseal the stones? Denial - Anger - Bargaining - Depression - Acceptance....you go through all of the stages of grief! Best piece of advise to anybody reading this: if you are thinking about natural stones for your countertops...just don't! Seriously, don't do it. It is probably the worst decision you'll ever make in your home...especially if you might think about renting your property in the future. Quartzite is the worst offender from all natural stones by the way. It is crazy beautiful but extremely high maintenance. Exceptions: natural stones "might" be ok if there are no children in the house, you are 100% committed to wiping every drop of water or oil literally right away (yep...even after the stones are sealed) and covering the stone portions next to stove each time you cook (yep...because any splash of hot oil or boiling water will go through even the most expensive sealer). By the way...companies that sell sealers are full of lies too! Having said all of that, Stonetech gave me the best results so far from all the products that I've tried. I have Quartzite, which is really a maintenance nightmare. The "removed" stains look similar to what a tattoo looks like after a tattoo removal: most of it is gone but you can still see the shade of it. This is better than having a full blown stain, but not 100% the way it was before. You may get better results with other natural stones. Again, Quartzite is extremely difficult to maintain even after being sealed properly with the best sealers. And this is the truth that natural stone sellers don't tell you: all natural stones are more fragile than they seem and ALL of them without exception WILL get stains.... even if properly sealed. You've been warned. Good luck with Stonetech. It is really the best product out there to remove oil stains. And yes...it has an incredibly strong citrus odor...though it is not as unpleasant as other reviewers state. Just open the windows for a little bit after applying them and you'll be fine.

I HAVE QUARTZITE AND RIGHT NOW I WISH I NEVER PURCHASED IT. WE HAVE HAD IT FOR THREE YEARS AND RARELY USE OUR KITCHEN - BECAUSE OF THE FEAR OF STAINING THE QUARTZITE. THIS PRODUCT HAS GREATLY HELPED. IT DOES HAVE A STRONG ORANGE SMELL - BUT, IF IT WORKS - WHO CARES?? I PURCHASED THREE SERVING BOARDS OF THE SAME QUARTZITE - SO I HAVE USED THEM AS MY SAMPLE PIECES. USING THIS PRODUCT, I HAVE NOTICED A STAIN WILL FADE BUT CREATE A LARGER "MORE FADED" STAIN. SO, I HAVE DECIDED TO USE THIS PRODUCT IN LARGER SWATCHES FOLLOWING THE STRONG VEINING IN MY STONE....APPROXIMATELY 8" X 11" SECTIONS. THIS REALLY DISPEARSES THE STAIN AND CONCEALS ANY COLOR DIFFERENCES. I HAVE USED IT ON SEVERAL STAINS FOUR TIMES AND IT IS NEAR PERFECT. DOES THE PRICE ADD UP - SURE. BUT, WHO CARES IF IT WORKS. I SPENT A LITTLE OVER A $ 120.00 TO SAVE MY $ 20,000 PURCHASE. WHEN I AM DONE I AM COVERING THE QUARTZITE WITH A THIN PLASTIC FILM TO PROTECT THE STONE FROM FURTHER STAINS. I DO RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT. IT HAS HELPED ME BEYOND ANY OTHER MEASURE.
