Beer Stain
BEER

Types:
There are literally hundreds of types of beers. The beer that seems to be more of a problem with staining are the dark beers. Countertops are very susceptible to dark beer staining.

Problem:
The sugars and proteins in the beer can cause a very dark stain on light colored stones.

Solution:
1.Clean the entire area thoroughly with water and a mild detergent( Dishwashing soap like ivory works well).Allow the water and soap to soak into the stone for several minutes.Lightly agitate the area and remove excess water with a dry towel.Rinse the area with clear water.

2.If the above cleaning procedure does not remove the beer stain, then try a stronger cleaner such as ammonia and water.

3.If the stone is still stained, prepare a powder poultice with 30-50 % Hydrogen peroxide.
Several poultices may need to be applied.
