Acids (lemon juice, wine, tomatoes, soft drinks) will etch your marble so it's important to clean them up as quickly as possible. Start by blotting the stain. Then, using baking soda and mixing it with rubbing alcohol (for water based stains), hydrogen peroxide (for oil based stains on light marble) or acetone (for oil based stains on dark marble), make a soft paste, spread it on the stain, cover it with plastic (to keep it moist) and let it sit overnight.
I second the baking soda suggestion. I make a paste of baking soda and water and let it sit. It works great to remove spots from marble.
I do too, it shouldn't scratch your marble.
