Has anyone successfully used a poultice of baking soda and water to get a red wine stain out of quartzite?

No, but I have effectively used Club Soda to get red wine stains out of clothing. Might be worth a try.

How bad is the stain? Do you seal your stone? Wine shouldn’t stain unless it’s left for a period of time. If that’s the case you may be in trouble.

It’s not terrible. The stone was sealed. The wine dripped down the side of the bottle and was left overnight

We have marble counters and my wife is a damn magician when it comes to removing stains. I’ll question her regarding methods, but it’s some mix of household stuff she coats over the stain, then puts a little plastic wrap over it to sit for a day or two.

Mix talc powder and hydrogen peroxide until peanut butter thickness. Spread over stain, cover with plastic wrap and tape wrap down with painters tape. Let it sit overnight until mixture is completely dry. Repeat if necessary.

You can also get a number of different poultice products on Amazon

If truly only overnight, I’d think you may need to re seal your stone? Quartzite is the hardest stone so I wouldn’t think red wine should stain it that quickly?

Did you call the company that installed it? They may have some suggestions

It is sealed. We have a terrible relationship with the company and have fought with them on numerous occasions regarding our counter project. Going to them isn’t really an option.

She says it’s hydrogen peroxide and baking soda mixed into a paste and applied over the stain 1/4” thick. Then she puts plastic wrap over the paste and tapes it on all edges. Depending on the stain, she usually lets it set ~24 hours, then peels everything off, scrapes off the paste with a spatula and wipes it all down.

Bump for an after photo / story update.

We got new quartzite and the wife left a plastic cup with icewater on it for about 30 minutes. The sweating caused a ring stain. Counter is new so it's just been sealed in the past 2 months.

Since it's just water, I'm wondering if it will evaporate on it's own over a day or so.
