    is the faux marble yellow from iron in the water ? I would try a tiny spot with Lysol toilet bowl cleaner to see how the faux marble reacts but I use this product to remove the yellowing from our water in my acrylic tub and shower. Works great . just squeeze on , rub around with a cloth or a plastic scrunger to spread it and let sit for 10 minutes . Rinse off with copious amounts of water . Voila a nice white tub reappears.

    They always used to say"You'll wonder where the yellow went, when you Brush your teeth with Pepsodent." But seriously, I think toothpaste may work. Test it on a very inconspicuous place, and don't use water with it. Also, you might also try #600 (or higher) wet and dry sandpaper. Again, test it first. The problem is, most faux marble stains are IN the material, NOT ON IT! If you aren't careful, you could also wind up with finger-shaped depressions, so you should also use a sanding block, or other device, if possible.

    Hi Denice, create a dense paste of more baking soda and a little bit of water. Apply the paste to the stain and leave for a few minutes before wiping it off. You may need to repeat until the stain vanishes. If it’s a tough stain try removing it with ammonia solution. Dilute the ammonia with water 1 part ammonia to 10 parts water. Test in a small spot first. Rinse the solution from your marble well to eliminate any residue, left from the cleaning ingredients on it and wear gloves.
