How to Remove Stains from Kota Stone
Updated 2026-11-15
Removing oil, tea, rust, lime and acid stains from Kota stone, and when re-polishing is the only fix.
Act fast
Wipe spills quickly. Kota is less porous than many stones but can still absorb oil and coloured liquids.
Common stains
Oil: absorbent poultice. Tea and turmeric: mild cleaner and repeated wiping. Lime or cement residue: gentle scraping, then cleaning.
Acid etching
Acid damage removes the polish; it needs machine re-polishing, not cleaning.
