How do you address surface etching on marble outdoor bar stools from acidic rain?

Surface etching on marble outdoor bar stools caused by acidic rain can be frustrating, but it’s fixable with the right approach. First, clean the affected area with a mild pH-neutral soap and water to remove debris. For light etching, use a marble polishing powder or a paste of baking soda and water, gently buffing the surface with a soft cloth. Deeper etches may require professional-grade diamond abrasives or honing compounds. To prevent future damage, apply a high-quality marble sealer and consider using protective covers when stools aren’t in use. Regular maintenance and prompt treatment will keep your marble stools looking pristine despite outdoor exposure.
