Lustro Italiano Etch Remover, 8 Ounce

I would highly recommend Lustro Italiano Etch Remover. I had a great experience with the product: it was easy to use, worked really well, and I think it's a good value. Here's the story: my young son had the stomach flu and threw up all over the travertine tile in our home's entryway and hallway. I felt bad for him but thought, "well at least he chose a place that would be easy to clean up." After mopping the area, I saw that his stomach acid had etched the travertine's surface. It was a giant splatter that started at one end of the hallway and then ran to another giant splatter right in front of the entry doors. Sorry to share those gory details but I want to make the point that this was a huge area. The tile's gloss was gone. Every time I walked down the hallway with the light on, it was plain as day. I purchased 2 of the 8oz. containers of Lustro and was a little hesitant because how could it possibly work? The surface gloss was completely gone. Because it was such a large area, rather than trying to apply Lustro by hand, I got out my car waxing random orbital buffer with a white buffing bonnet. Using a spoon, I applied a few tablespoons to the floor (it said not to mix the stuff so I didn't. When opened, Lustro has 1/2" of water on top of an orange gritty material). I turned on the buffer and moved it around randomly across the tile. Recommendation: if you have knee pads, use them to save your knees). The instructions say to spray water on the area when the water is worked out of the material - I added a little but realized that the bonnet was wet from absorbing much of the fluid so expected that would likely work as is. I buffed the areas for about 5 minutes and at this point, I had no idea if Lustro would work. I cleaned up the areas with a white cotton cloth and water - rinsing out the cloth as necessary. I let the floor dry and p r e s t o - perfect. The gloss was back and it looks superb. Easy peasy. In all, I used about 1/3 of one 8oz container of Lustro. I now want to buff all of the tile because the treated areas look so gorgeous and I have a lot left over (though don't worry, it blends perfectly to the surrounding tile. My desire to use Lustro on all of the tile is more of a compulsion than a necessity). I am going to reseal the areas today with a sealer spray. Great product - I highly recommend.

Last week, I tried cleaning my humidifier with vinegar and water mix in a spray bottle on my marble countertop, not knowing that it will etch it. It left white, hazy splash marks everywhere and a huge 3 x 8 inch spot at the front of my sink. I freaked out and tried using marble cleaner, dish soap, water and nothing worked. I started googling and found this product. I first tried the etch remover on the large spot. I had to use it 3 times and it did get some of it off but that took about 20 minutes and at this point my face is red and I'm sweating. This includes me wiping everything up to see if the stain was gone and cleaning up the mess on floor. This wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. My husband suggested using a car buffer. I placed a scoop on the stain and pressed down firmly to buff. I buffed it a few times. It took all of the vinegar stain out! The splashed vinegar marks were easier to get out with the buffer but the large area does take some work. The large vinegar stained area does have a very dry feel compared to the rest of the marble feeling polished. I'm hoping it will feel smooth again after I seal the countertop. Regardless, I'm happy to not have that large white hazy stain there anymore!! I bought a impregnator sealer to seal the marble and I'll try dealing it tonight. On one of the websites I found, it says to clean the marble top with a marble cleaner and let it dry overnight and then seal it, repeat every 6 months to a year. Before you start cleaning your marble with this etch remover, I would highly suggest having a roll of paper towel, protecting your cabinets, and have some rags on hand. It is a bit messy and because my stain was towards the front of the sink, some of the product would drip off onto my cabinets and I had to quickly wipe it up so that it doesn't damage it. I kept a rag in the sink and would use that to wipe the etch remover off to see the result. Another review suggested watching a YouTube video about the product use and I would recommend it too. I don't have pictures of the stain because I wasn't planning on writing such an extensive review on this product but after all the hard work and the mess and it taking the vinegar stain out, I figured I'd write a review to help someone out who is dealing with the same issue. The pic are after I got done using the etch remover and of the buffer I used. Will definitely keep this etch remover on hand!

My tenants left a lot of etching on my vanity counters. A lot were easily removed with a lot of elbow grease but the ones I assume were from cleaning bottles were unable to be removed.

Worked well on our marble countertop. Best to watch their video of how to use. After applying in the recommended amount, found it really paid to only do a small area at a time, because the product can leave some marks on other areas if left alone a while, but re-applying and rubbing it in can fix it. Some areas needed repeat applications but they said up to 30 mins of rubbing on some tough areas. End result was satisfactory.

Me encantó el producto, retiró la mancha de vinagre en el piso de mármol. La quito en un 80 a 90%. Busqué información de cómo retirar la mancha y el producto de venta en AMAZON. Comentó que es poco el producto, pero cumplió con la expectativa. Y claro que lo recomiendo.

Worked brilliantly on my marble flooring. Had a bottle of wine smash on the floor during our last house party and it ended leaving a huge etch mark on it. Used this product as instructed and while it took some time and effort, loved the end result and the etch marks are completely gone!

Had a patch of dull marble flooring and now I don’t. Extremely toxic so use gloves. It takes a bit of muscle power to rub and shine this on but it’s well worth it to fix damaged marble
