I accidently left a piece of wet plastic with a dark red/pink color on my marble counter top. When I picked it up, it left a stain. I tried the marble cleaner that the company left me and a ‘little bit’ of Hydrogen Peroxide on it. Most of the stain is gone, but not all of it. Is there anything I can do? ---

I don’t know, but I did that in a hotel once, and I was so scared I was going to get charged, but I never heard anything. So either they didn’t care, or maybe somehow it is temporary and goes away? ---

It will continue to fade. Just watch it fade away within a week. ---

Then find a real sealer - this is not a big box item. Find a place pros go when they install floors.
