Hello Annie,

I would Sand it down and re-stain and Seal again. Best wishes It will be worth it in the end!

What type of stone? I have marble counters and know I have to clean them frequently. A poultice of baking soda will pull stains out with some patience. Avoid acid cleaners and harsh abrasives. Good luck and stay safe!

1. - A good doses of salt and rub with a wet cloth. ...
2. - With self-shining wax or extra-virgin wax. ...
3. - Wet a mop with gasoline. ...

5. - With glass cleaners.

What is it stained with?

Hello. I am not sure what type of stone you were talking about whether it is granite marble or slate.

I used miracle brands spray cleaner and 511 sealer on my slate and did a nice job removing stains followed by sealing. Please see attached photo for the products are used. Your local tile or stone store might have similar products available.

Hi Diane

What type of stone? is it inside or outside? you would need to use the proper cleaner for what ever type stone it is first then reapply a sealer which would make it shine again- here is some ideas but I don't know the type of stone you are talking about; granite, slate, marble, etc.

This may or may not work for you but my laminate counter top was so damaged. I cleaned it up the best I could then used a floor wax to wipe on. It shined up my counter top and it looks like new! Here is the one I used https://amzn.to/2VyY7xD
