    Rust dissolves in Kerosene. Put small amount of over the rust stains. Wait for two minutes and then wipe it clean. If needed repeat it two or three times

    If you have tried things such as Bon Ami, you could try an emery board. I did this when a 'guest' left a cigarette burn on my bathroom counter and it worked well.

    Marble is basically compressed limestone. Any acidic cleaners will etch, dull and stain the surface, including vinegar, citrus cleaners, and lime/calcium cleaners.


    If you are trying to remove an old stain, create a dense paste of more baking soda and less water. Then place the paste over the stain, allowing it to function for a few minutes. After that wipe off the baking soda paste. If it is needed you can repeat the procedure until the stain vanishes.


    If the stain is persistent and is still there you can try removing it with ammonia solution. Make the area of the stain damp with 10% ammonia, diluted in water. Ammonia is knows as a base solution, so it is suitable for removing stains from marble.


    The final stage of the stain removal us rinsing. Rinse the solution from your marble well to eliminate any residue, left from the cleaning ingredients on it.


    I advise to use gloves when removing the stain with ammonia. They will protect your hands. Ventilate the room, in which you use ammonia for removing stains, because it is toxic.

    I'm going to double emphasize what William said- stay away from acid cleaners like vinegar-good luck!
